[Intro]
Three, four!
Yeah
You know, we're so close
See, I can taste it
I know all our dreams
We can taste it
We almost there
Come on, say!
Uh! Yeah!
Come on, say!
Uh! Yeah!
Three, four!

[Chorus]
Just one more step
Come on, baby, yeah
'Cause we're al-, almost there

[Verse 1]
No matter how hard
The task may seem
Don't give up our plans
Don't give up our dreams
No broken bridges
Will turn us around
'Cause what we're searching for
Will soon be found

[Chorus]
'Cause we're al-, almost there
Just one more step
Just one more step, uh
Don't give up!
We're al-, almost there

[Verse 2]
Look at the lonely lovers
That didn't make it
Love's long hard climb
They just couldn't take it
Don't let it happen
To me and you
Just hold together, darling
We'll make it through
Darling, keep on reaching out for me
Keep on reaching
Do it for me
Do it for me
Do it, baby

[Chorus]
'Cause we're almost there
Just one more step
Don't you dare
Don't give up
Give up, keep on
We're al-, almost there

[Bridge]
We're so close
I can taste it
I... so sweet
Can't afford to waste it
If you feel your hands
Slipping from mine
Just hold on tighter, darling
Keep on trying
Baby, do it for me
Do it, do it, do it, baby

[Chorus]
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
And we're almost there
Yeah!
I know it hasn't really been easy
But nothing worth the wait ever is
And all our dreams can be ours
I'm telling you we almost there
Hahaha
I'm telling you we almost there
