WE'RE ALMOST THERE
Jackson 5 Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter how hard
The task 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 searchin' for
Will soon be found

[Chorus]
Cause we're almost there
Just one more step
Cause we're almost there
Just one more step
Just one more step
Don't give up
'Cause we're almost all almost there
'Cause we're almost there

Look at the lovers
Look at the lonely lovers
That didn't make it
Life's long hard climb
Life's long hard climb
They just couldn't take it
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, cause baby

[Chorus]

We're so close
I can taste it
A life so sweet
Can't afford to waste it
Can't afford to waste it

Need to feel your hand
Slippin' from mine
Just hold on tighter now, darlin'
Keep on tryin'

[Chorus]

Baby baby, don't give up
'Cause we're almost there)
Keep on, keep on
We're almost there)
Just one more step
'Cause we're almost there)
Cause we're almost there

Just one more step
Cause we're almost there
We've come to far
To turn around

Oh!

Keep on reachin'
For higher ground
We've had our ups and we've had our 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 lookin' 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
