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, I'm doing the best I can.

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. 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.

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...

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...
