At This Point in My Life Songtext
von Tracy Chapman

Done so many things wrong
I don′t know if I can do right
Oh, I, oh, I've
Done so many things wrong
I don′t know if I can do right

At this point in my life
I've done so many things wrong
I don't know if I can do right
If you put your trust in me
Hope I won′t let you down
If you give me a chance I′ll try

You see it's been a hard road
The road I′m traveling on
And if I take your hand
I might lead you down the path to ruin
I've had a hard life
Just saying it so you′ll understand
Oh, that right now, right now
I'm doing the best I can


At this point in my life

At this point in my life
Though I′ve mostly walked in the shadows
I'm still searching for the light
Won't you put your faith in me?
We both know that′s what matters
If you give me a chance I′ll try

You see, I've been climbing stairs
But mostly stumbling down
I′ve been reaching high
Always losing ground
You see I've conquered hills
I still have mountains to climb
Oh, and right now, right now
I′m doing the best I can

At this point in my life


Before we take a step
Before we walk down that path
Before I make any promises
Before you have regrets
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
All I've seen and all I′ve done
The things I'd like to forget

At this point in my life

At this point in my life
I'd like to live as if only love mattered
As if redemption was in sight
As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it

You see when I′ve touched the sky
Earth′s gravity has pulled me down
But now I've reconciled that in this world
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
If you can believe in this heart of mine
Oh, if you can give it a try
Then I′ll reach inside and find and give you
All the sweetness that I have

Oh, at this point in my life

At this point in my life
