Aretha Franklin F/ - I Know 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, kept my faith
(I know you did)

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

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
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
(I know you do)

When the river was deep I didn't fairer
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 snared was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me
