Tracy Chapman - At This Point In My Life (1995) w/Lyrics [720p HD] ~ORIGINAL VIDEO~

[Video #41] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!

"At This Point In My Life" was released on Tracy Chapman's 1995 album, New Beginning. Typical Tracy Chapman....an excellent song both lyrically and melodically. Most of the songs that Tracy Chapman sings are delivered with such passion and emotion that you can believe she has lived the song herself....she's not just singing it.....she's LIVING it!
A truly gifted and amazing singer/songwriter.


[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

@AstralBlueDreams777

Thanks D's! I'm amazed each and every single time I hear that singularly beautiful and emotionally powerful voice....she is honestly one of those artists who could sing the phone book and make it something you'd want to hear again.....but when you add her incredible writing ability, you have a true one of a kind genius. I love all her work...and man, can she cover Dylan and Marley!?

Thanks for the comment!
