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
