I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

Like a warrior that fights, and wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights, consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally, mmm

Somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes, I did, I escaped (hmm-mm)
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith

When the river was deep, I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no, no
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me, uh-hm

With an endless desire, I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridge is on fire, the hurt is over
One touch, and you set me free

No, I don't regret a single moment
No, I don't, (I know you don't) looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh

When the river was deep, I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me
(Ah) I knew you were waiting, (ah) I knew you were waiting for me

So, we were drawn together through destiny, ooh, boy, ooh
I know this love we shared was meant to be (oh, oh)
(I knew you were waiting), ooh-yeah (knew you were waiting)
I knew you were waiting, (knew you were waiting for me)

(Oh, I didn't falter) I didn't falter, no
(I still believed)
When the valley was low, (it didn't stop me) yeah, and it can't stop me now
(I knew you were waiting), no, I (knew you were waiting for me)

(I didn't falter)
When the mountain was high, (I still believed)
Oh, when the valley was low, (it didn't stop me) ha, no, it didn't stop me, no
(I knew you were waiting), stop me (I knew you were waiting for me)

(I didn't falter) oh, oh, yeah
(I still believed) oh, I still believed
(It didn't stop me) do you know it couldn't stop me now? No
(I knew you were waiting) some day, some way, some place, somehow for me

(I didn't falter) when the valley was low
(I still believed) yeah, I still believed, I believed, I believed
(It didn't stop me) yeah, and it couldn't stop me
(I knew you were waiting) no way, oh, yeah (I knew you were waiting for me)
