[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
Can turn us around
'Cause what we're searching for
Will soon be found

[Chorus]
'Cause we're al-almost there
Just one more step (Almost there)
Just one more step
Don't give up, we're al-almost there ('Cause we're almost there)

[Verse 2]
(Look at the lovers)
Look at the lonely lovers (That didn't make it)
That didn't make it (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, darling
We'll make it through
Darling, keep on reaching out for me
Keep on reaching
Do it for me, do it for me, 'cause baby

[Chorus]
(We're almost there)
('Cause we're almost there)
('Cause we're almost there)

[Verse 3]
We're so close
I can taste it
A life so sweet
We can't afford to waste it
Need to feel your hand
Slipping from mine?
Just hold on tighter, darling
Keep on trying
Baby, do it for me (Let's make this climb)
Do it, do it, do it, baby

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

[Outro]
Just one more step
'Cause we're almost there
We've come too far
To turn around
Keep on reaching
For higher ground
We've had our ups
And we've had our downs
Ain't lettin' nothin' in the world, darling
Turn us around
'Cause we're almost there
We're almost there
We're almost there
Everything we're looking for
We're almost there
Keep on reaching out for me
'Cause we're almost there, darling
We're almost there
We're almost there, darling
We're almost there
We're almost there
Ah, we're almost there
Babe, we're almost there

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
