Lyrics:
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

*
'Cause we're al-almost there
Just one more step, just one more step
Don't give up, we're almost, almost there

(Look at the lovers) Look at the lonely lovers
(That didn't make it) That didn't make it
(Life's a long hard climb) Life's a 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

('Cause we're almost there, 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
If you feel your hand slippin' from mine
Just hold on tighter, darlin'
Keep on tryin'
Baby, do it for me, do it for me, do it for me

(* Repeat with ad lib)

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 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

We're almost there, darlin'
We're almost there
We're almost there, darlin'
We're almost there... (fade)
