Almost Home (with Damien Jurado) Lyrics
I'll decide
in a moment's time
to turn away;
Leave it all behind
So we climb,
somewhere I will draw the line,
the ground is hard;
The treasure fine
So
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
So
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
Time to scout,
when I was a child - I'd,
I'd run at hide
to be at your side
So we climb,
somewhere I will draw the line,
I dream until
the stars were mine
So
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
So
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
I'll decide
in a moment's time
to turn away;
Leave it all behind
So we climb,
somewhere I will draw the line,
the ground is hard;
The treasure fine
So
(As stars fell from the sky)
let it go,
(Under, into the sea)
wake up, wake up, wake up
(Still I don't know if it's right)
we're almost home
(If this world is right for me)
[Repeat 2x]
So
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
in a moment's time
to turn away;
Leave it all behind
somewhere I will draw the line,
the ground is hard;
The treasure fine
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
So
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
when I was a child - I'd,
I'd run at hide
to be at your side
So we climb,
somewhere I will draw the line,
I dream until
the stars were mine
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
So
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home
in a moment's time
to turn away;
Leave it all behind
somewhere I will draw the line,
the ground is hard;
The treasure fine
(As stars fell from the sky)
let it go,
(Under, into the sea)
wake up, wake up, wake up
(Still I don't know if it's right)
we're almost home
(If this world is right for me)
let it go,
wake up, wake up, wake up
we're almost home

This song is so beautiful and serene, as most Moby songs are. :) To me, it really makes me think about my silly little life and what wondrous things await in the afterlife. But I'm not exactly sure what it's really, because last I knew, Moby wasn't the religious man he used to be.
The most beautiful song I have ever heard
This is a song that really speaks to me. I associated it with my dog's untimely death, which broke my heart. But this song made me think about how I'd done my best to give him a worthwhile life, a happy one which he lived to its peak; he was a glue that bound our family together for eight years. It makes me think that in his afterlife, he'd live in our memories, and keep us going strong. And when you love him like we did, that's more than we could have asked for. That's why this song means so much to me. It's beautifully uplifting.
@deadmoby5 Wow, I also related this song with my dog's life, he is still alive, but for some reason it takes me to the future for when he dies, this song is beautiful

I see this song as a take on human consciousness and honoring the soul. We all have expectations thrust upon us from society, parents, ect. Moby is telling us to 'let it go' and 'wake up' to what our soul is telling us. 'We're almost home' signifying that when we listen to what our soul is saying, we are truly enlightened and conscious. Once this happens on an individual level, it can be spread, and reaching this level throughout our entire species can be something Moby is getting at. Saying, with all that is happening currently, that there is an awakening happening. Wake up, society, because we are 'almost home'. Meaning, we are becoming an enlightened and conscious society, and we can reach that.
