"Almost There" and "Almost There (Reprise)" Performed by Anika Noni Rose (Tiana)
(Mama... I don't have time for dancing!)
That's just gonna have to wait a while (How long we're talkin' about here?) Ain't got time for messing around And it's not my style (I want some grandkids.) This whole town can slow you down People taking the easy way But I know exactly where I'm going And getting closer, closer, every day
And I'm almost there, I'm almost there People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care Tribes and tribulations have had my share There ain't nothing 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 going my way Just doing what I do Look out boys I'm coming through
And I'm almost there, I'm almost there People gonna come here from everywhere And I'm almost there, I'm almost there
There's been tribes 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!
