Text: Franklin Aretha. I Knew You Were Waiting For Me.
Like a warrior that fights and wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
And I went through some nights consumed by shadows
I was crippled emotionally
But somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes, I did, I escaped
I found my way out of darkness
I kept my faith, I kept my faith
When the river was deep I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
With an endless desire I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like a bridge that's on fire, the hurt is over
One touch and you set me free, baby
I don't regret a single moment
No, I don't looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh
When the river was deep I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny
Oh baby, I know this love we shared was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me
I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
When the mountain was high
When the valley was low
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
When the mountain was high
When the valley was low
I know the taste of victory
And I went through some nights consumed by shadows
I was crippled emotionally
But somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes, I did, I escaped
I found my way out of darkness
I kept my faith, I kept my faith
When the river was deep I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
With an endless desire I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like a bridge that's on fire, the hurt is over
One touch and you set me free, baby
I don't regret a single moment
No, I don't looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh
When the river was deep I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny
Oh baby, I know this love we shared was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me
I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
When the mountain was high
When the valley was low
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
I did not falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it did not stop me
'Cause I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
When the mountain was high
When the valley was low
