We’re Almost There – Lyrics

No matter how hard
The times may seem
Don’t give up our plans
Don’t give up our dreams
No broken bridges can turn us around
’Cause what we’re searching for
Will soon be found

’Cause we’re almost there
Just one more step
Just one more step
Don’t give up
we’re almost all there

Look at the lonely lovers
That didn’t make it
Life’s long hard climb
They just couldn’t take it
Don’t let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin’
We’ll make it through

Darlin’, keep on reachin’ out for me
Keep on reachin’
Do it for me
Do it for me
Do it, baby

(Almost there, we’re almost there
’Cause we’re almost there)

We’re so close
I can taste it
A life so sweet
We can’t afford to waste it
Fear to feel your hand
Slippin’ from mine
Just hold on tighter, darlin’
Keep on tryin’

Baby, do it for me
Do it, do it, do it baby

Just one more step
Don’t give up
Just one more step
Baby, baby, don’t give up
Keep on, keep on
Just one more step
’Cause we’re almost there

Just one more step
’Cause we’re almost there
We’ve come too far
To turn around
Keep on reachin’
For higher ground
We’ve had all ups
We’ve had all downs
Let nothin’ in the world, darlin’
Turn us around
’Cause we’re almost there
We’re almost there
We’re almost there
Everything we’re looking for
We’re almost there
Keep on reachin’ out for me
‘Cause we’re almost there darlin’
We’re almost there
We’re almost there darlin’
We’re almost there
We’re almost there
Ah we’re almost there
