Almost There Lyrics & Chords By Anika Noni Rose

Spoken:
Mama! I don't have time for dancing!

That's just gonna have to wait a while
Ain't got time for messin' around
And it's not my style
This old town can slow you down
People taking the easy way
But I know exactly where I'm goin'
Gettin' closer and closer every day

And I'm almost there, I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care
Trials and tribulations, I've had my share
There ain't nothin' gonna stop me now 'cause I'm almost there

I remember Daddy told me: "Fairytales can come true
You gotta make 'em happen, it all depends on you"
So I work real hard each and every day
Now things for sure are goin' my way
Just doin' what I do
Look out boys, I'm comin' through

And I'm almost there, I'm almost there
People gon' come here from everywhere
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there

There's been trials and tribulations, you know I've had my share
But I've climbed the mountain, I've crossed the river
And I'm almost there, I'm almost there
I'm almost there!
