At This Point In My Life Lyrics

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 i 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 i'm just saying it so you'll understand
That right now, right now, i'm doing the best i can

At this point in my life
At this point in my life
Although 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 been reaching high but always losing ground
You see i've conquered hills but i still have mountains to climb
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
The 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
If you can give it a try
Then i'll reach inside and find and give you
All the sweetness that i have
At this point in my life
At this point in my life

Tracy Chapman (born March 30, 1964) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for the singles "Fast Car", "Talkin' Bout a Revolution", "Baby Can I Hold You", and "Give Me One Reason." She is a multi-platinum and multi-Grammy award-winning artist.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio,U.S., Tracy Chapman began playing guitar and writing songs as a child. She received a scholarship through A Better Chance that allowed her to attend Wooster School in Connecticut, and was eventually accepted to Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.

Tracy Chapman helped restore singer/songwriters to the spotlight in the '80s. The multi-platinum success of Chapman's eponymous 1988 debut was unexpected, and it had lasting impact. Although Chapman was working from the same confessional singer/songwriter foundation that had been popularized in the '70s, her songs were fresh and powerful, driven by simple melodies and affecting lyrics. At the time of her first album, there were only a handful of artists performing such a style successfully, and her success ushered in a new era of singer/songwriters that lasted well into the '90s. Along with 10,000 Maniacs and R.E.M., Chapman's liberal politics proved enormously influential on American college campuses in the late '80s
