Lyrics

Tiana: (speaking) Mama! I don't have time for dancing!

(singing) That's just gonna have to wait a while

Ain't got time for messing around

And it's not my style

This old town can slow you down

People taking the easy way

But I know exactly where I'm going

Getting closer and closer every day

And I'm almost there, I'm almost there

People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care

Trials and tribulations, I've 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 trials 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!
