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
