Mariah Carey New Song 'Almost Home' For 'Oz' Soundtrack, VIDEO & LYRICS
Mariah Carey released her new song Almost Home on Tuesday, the lead tune off the Oz the Great and Powerful soundtrack.
During the chorus, the American Idol judge and mother of two sings about Dorothy, the lead character from the original movie:
"When you're almost there/ And you're almost home/ Just open up your eyes and go/ When you're almost there/ Almost home/ Know you're not alone/ You're almost home."
A video for the song will be released on March 8, the same day the film hits theaters. Almost Home is Carey's first single since 2012's Triumphant, according to MTV. The singer is expected to release an album this year, though no release date has seen announced.
Oz the Great and Powerful stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz.

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
