Scritta da Mariah Carey, Simone Porter, Justin Gray, Lindsey Ray, Tor Erik Hermansen e Mikkel Eriksen, Almost Home è una canzone cantata dalla stessa Carey per la colonna sonora de Il grande e potente Oz (titolo originale Oz the Great and Powerful), film fantasy e di avventura diretto da Sam Raimi, nelle sale italiane a partire dal 7 marzo 2013.
“Il messaggio del brano ‘Almost Home’ è molto attinente al film”, spiega Mariah Carey, “E’ una canzone gioiosa, che trasmette sensazioni di benessere, come l’importanza della propria casa e delle persone che amiamo”.
Il video ufficiale di Almost Home è diretto dal fotografo e regista statunitense David LaChapelle.
Il testo di Almost Home (Music from the Motion Picture “Oz the Great and Powerful”) (che significa Ormai a casa) – in download digitale su
Hey, hey…
You’re almost home
You’re almost home
You’re almost home
I’ve seen the light in the sky
In the skies are like fireflies
Burning bright, just to vanish in the dark
I’ve held hope in my two hands
That there would be another chance
To find the kingdom, I’m believing in my heart
Cause underneath the good there’s something greater than you know
When you’re almost there
And you’re almost home
Just open up your eyes and go, go
When you’re almost there, almost home
Know you’re not alone
You’re almost home
When you run, run so far
You’ve forgotten who you are
Where you’re from, it’s like some other universe
You count your steps, like they’re regrets
You catch one breath then lose the rest
Wrong is right, right is left
And there’s nowhere left to turn
So don’t believe in everything
You think, you think you know
When you’re almost there
And you’re almost home
Just open up your eyes and go, go
When you’re almost there, almost home
Know you’re not alone
You’re almost home
When you let your heart be the compass
You won’t get lost, not if you trust it
When you hear the sound of the trumpet
Louder than ever before
Oh, when you’re almost there
Almost home
Just open up your eyes and go, go
Cause you’re almost there
Almost home
Know you’re not alone
You’re almost home
When you’re almost there
Almost home
Just open up your eyes and go, go
Almost there
You’re almost home
Know you’re not alone
You’re almost home
