  • Hey, hey
    You're almost home
    You're almost home
    You're almost home

    I've seen the light in the sky
    In the skies are like fireflies
    Burning bright, just to vanish in the dark

    I've held hope in my two hands
    That there would be another chance
    To find the kingdom, I'm believing in my heart
    Cause underneath the good there's something greater than you know

    When you're almost there
    And you're almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    When you're almost there, almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home

    When you run, run so far
    You've forgotten who you are
    Where you're from, it's like some other universe
    You count your steps, like they're regrets
    You catch one breath then lose the rest
    Wrong is right, right is left
    And there's nowhere left to turn

    So don't believe in everything
    You think, you think you know

    When you're almost there
    And you're almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    When you're almost there, almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home

    When you let your heart be the compass
    You won't get lost, not if you trust it
    When you hear the sound of the trumpet
    Louder than ever before

    Oh, when you're almost there
    Almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    Cause you're almost there
    Almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home

    When you're almost there
    Almost home
    Just open up your eyes and go, go
    Almost there
    You're almost home
    Know you're not alone
    You're almost home Writer/s: JUSTIN ABRAHAM GRAY, LINDSEY RAY, MARIAH CAREY, MIKKEL STORLEER ERIKSEN, SIMONE PORTER, TOR ERIK HERMANSEN

  • Dj Michaelangelo from Grand Rapids, MiIn a 2018 interview with Alex Frank from Pitchfork magazine, Mariah herself had this to say about the Almost Home song:

    'I love to collaborate with people, but in the rare instances when I’ve done other people’s songs, I haven’t liked it. There was a Disney song I did five, six years ago called “Almost Home,” and I never really liked it. No offense to whoever wrote it, and I did it because Disney wanted me to do it, but it didn’t feel like me at all.'
