Aretha Franklin
I Know You Were Waiting (For Me)
Like a warrior that fights and wins the battle<br />
I know the taste of victory<br />
Though I went through some nights<br />
<br />
Consumed by the shadows, I was crippled emotionally<br />
Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes, I did, I escaped<br />
I found my way out of the darkness<br />
I kept my faith, kept my faith<br />
(I know you did)<br />
<br />
When the river was deep I didn't falter<br />
When the mountain was high I still believed<br />
When the valley was low it didn't stop me, no no<br />
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me<br />
<br />
With an endless desire I kept on searching<br />
Sure in time our eyes would meet<br />
Like the bridge is on fire<br />
<br />
The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free<br />
I don't regret a single moment, no, I don't, looking back<br />
When I think of all those disappointments<br />
I just laugh, I just laugh<br />
(I know you do)<br />
<br />
When the river was deep I didn't fairer<br />
When the mountain was high I still believed<br />
When the valley was low it didn't stop me<br />
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me<br />
<br />
So we were drawn together through destiny<br />
I know this love we snared was meant to be<br />
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting<br />
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me
