Almost There

"Almost There" is a musical nunber featured in the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog. The song was sung by Anika Noni Rose as Tiana. During the song sequence, the animation shifts to the same art deco style used in Tiana's picture of her dream restaurant and shows her doing different tasks such as signing a menu, adding whipped cream to desserts and wiping a small boy's mouth.

Lyrics
Mama, I don't have time for dancin' 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
