i knew you were waiting (for me)

Singer:aretha franklin

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

and was crippled emotionally

somehow i made it through the heartache

yes i did

i escaped

i found my way out of the darkness

i kept my faith

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

knew you were waiting for me

uh huh

with and endless desire

i kept on searching

sure in time our eyes would meet

and 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

looking back

when i think of all those disappointments

i just laugh

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

i knew you were waiting

knew you were waiting for me

so we were drawn together through destiny

ooh

boy

i know this love we share was meant to be

knew you were waiting

knew you were waiting

knew you were waiting for me

i didn't falter

i still believed

it didn't stop me

i knew you were waiting

knew you were waiting for me

i didn't falter

i still believed

it didn't stop me

i knew you were waiting

knew you were waiting for me

i didn't falter

i still believed

it didn't stop me

knew you were waiting

someday

somehow

for me

i didn't falter

i still believed

he didn't stop me

no way
