WE NEARLY MADE IT
WE NEARLY FOUND
THE PERFECT COMBINATION
THE ROAD WAS RIGHT
WE MUST HAVE READ
THE SIGNS WRONG
AND NOW IT'S ALL GONE
BUT IF WE'D MADE IT
COULD WE BE SURE THAT
IT WAS FOR THE BETTER
WHO COULD SAY WE WOULD
HAVE STAYED TOGETHER
NOTHIN' IS CERTAIN
IN A CHANGING WORLD
EVERY LOSER WINS
ONCE THE DREAM BEGINS
IN TIME YOU'LL SEE
FATE HOLDS THE KEY
AND EVERY LOSER KNOWS
THE LIGHT THE TUNNEL SHOWS
WILL SHINE ON YOU
AND ALL THOSE WHO KNEW
WE NEARLY MADE IT
BUT SUDDENLY
WE SEEMED TO STOP
AND LOSE OUR WAY
BUT DID IT REALLY
MATTER ANYWAY
FOR THAT WAS YESTERDAY
AND WE MUST LIVE FOR NOW
'CAUSE EVERY LOSER WINS
ONCE THE DREAM BEGINS
IN TIME YOU'LL SEE
FATE HOLDS THE KEY
AND EVERY LOSER KNOWS
THE LIGHT THE TUNNEL SHOWS
WILL SHINE ON YOU
AND ALL THOSE WHO KNEW
WE NEARLY MADE IT
STAND UP AND COUNT ME
I KNOW YOU'RE ON MY SIDE
SHINE DOWN ON ME
AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE
THAT WE CAN MAKE IT
