I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) Lyrics

[00:25.82] Like a warrior that fights
[00:28.12] And wins the battle
[00:30.73] I know the taste of victory
[00:34.31] Though I went through some nights
[00:36.57] Consumed by the shadows
[00:39.62] I was crippled emotionally
[00:44.73] Somehow, I made it through the heartache
[00:48.23] Yes I did, I escaped
[00:53.78] I found my way out of the darkness
[00:56.85] I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith
[01:00.99] When the river was deep, I didn't falter
[01:05.44] When the mountain was high, I still believed
[01:10.00] When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no, no
[01:15.57] I knew you were waiting
[01:17.99] I knew you were waiting for me, uh-huh
[01:28.08] With an endless desire
[01:29.70] I, I kept on searching
[01:33.13] Sure in time our eyes would meet
[01:36.47] Like the bridge is on fire
[01:38.56] The hurt is over
[01:41.76] One touch and you set me free
[01:45.51] No, I don't regret a single moment
[01:50.34] No, I don't (I know you don't) looking back
[01:55.82] When I think of all those disappointments
[01:59.07] I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh
[02:03.01] When the river was deep, I didn't falter
[02:07.65] When the mountain was high, I still believed
[02:11.99] When the valley was low, it didn't stop me
[02:17.23] I knew you were waiting
[02:20.09] I knew you were waiting for me
[02:23.75] So we were drawn together through destiny (ooh, boy)
[02:31.76] I know this love we shared was meant to be
[02:39.21] I knew you were waiting
[02:43.88] Knew you were waiting
[02:46.27] I knew you were waiting
[02:47.49] Knew you were waiting for me
[02:49.91] I didn't falter, I didn't falter
[02:54.30] I still believed
[02:57.02] When the valley was low, it didn't stop me (nothing can stop me, no)
[03:02.49] I knew you were waiting
[03:05.06] I knew you were waiting for me
[03:07.62] I didn't falter
[03:10.43] When the mountain was high, I still believed
[03:14.85] When the valley was low, it didn't stop me
[03:18.40] No, it didn't stop me, no
[03:20.31] I knew you were waiting
[03:22.44] I knew you were waiting for me
[03:25.00] I didn't falter, oh yeah
[03:27.64] I still believed, oh I still believed
[03:33.62] It didn't stop me (do you know it didn't stop me, no?)
[03:37.77] I knew you were waiting, someday, some way, some way, somehow
[03:41.51] For me
[03:43.33] I didn't falter, when the valley was low
[03:47.42] I still believed, and I still believed (I believe)
[03:51.63]
