[2011 Summer of deletion/reposting note: I have no HTML in these archived posts, so the actual audio player I speak of below is lost to the ages, no music embedded in these lyrical gangsta posts any longer. Yet to be historically accurate, I kept all the original stuff I said]
DUDE! I have figured out how to add the music to the songs I'm always lyricalling (a new AIS word) - hours of research and trial and error, but what's a few hours between friends? Let me know if you like this option, or not so much.
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.
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,
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.
