 (intro)

							        
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 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
