I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

Lyrics

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)
