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
Nothing is certain, in a changing world

Every loser wins, once the dream begins
In time we'll see, fate holds the key
And every loser knows, the light eternal shows
Will shine on you, and all those who knew
We nearly made it

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

Coz every loser wins, once the dream begins
In time we'll see, fate holds the key
And every loser knows, the light eternal 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

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

Coz every loser wins, once the dream begins
In time we'll see, fate holds the key
And every loser knows, the light eternal 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
