Almost
Almost had a moment
Almost had something to share
But we didn’t dare
We could rise with the tide
Elevate everything in sight
Soak up all the light
Make the world a paradise
But we choose to divide
Losin’ the truth to soothe our pride
When we could soar
We could rise we could fly
Almost
Almost found the cure to what was broken
Almost uncovered the love so rare
As if we nearly cared
Singin’ every rhyme
Yet we feel no peace of mind
Attacking everything in sight
Never gettin’ off the dime
Could have been so much more
Had we cracked open the door
We might have gazed at the sky open sky
Almost
By now we should have worked out
all the doubts
instead of chokin’ on lies
made up all at one time
ridiculous
could have been sublime
humanity unspoken
would’ve known it all the while
had the truth been awoken
Always in a bind
starin’ down past ghosts
we can keep ourselves alive
we don’t have to say…
