Paroles :

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 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

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

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'

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

Critique :

"We're Almost There" est une chanson de 1975, sortie en single par le chanteur américain Michael Jackson. Il s'agit du premier extrait de son dernier album chez Motown, Forever, Michael. Elle est également sortie en Europe comme deuxième single de la compilation One Day in Your Life, sortie en 1981.

Alors que la voix de Jackson passait de soprano enfant à ténor, Motown avait du mal à trouver des morceaux adaptés au jeune homme de 16 ans, qui avait chanté avec une voix plus aiguë pendant la majeure partie de son contrat avec le label, notamment entre 1969 et 1972. Avec le retour des frères Holland, Brian et Edward, Motown leur demanda d'écrire un recueil de chansons adaptées à l'âge de Jackson.
