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

Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes I did
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, I kept my faith (I know you did)
I 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
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me

With an 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

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, I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be
I knew you were waiting
