"...I'm doing the best I can..."

Tracy Chapman

At This Point In My Life

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
