Aretha Franklin I Knew You Were Waiting 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, 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
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
The bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free

No I don't regret a single moment
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
I know this love we share was meant to be
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (I didn't falter no)
I still believed (When the valley was low)
It didn't stop me (Nothing can stop me no)
I knew you were waiting (no I)
Knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (When the mountain was high)
I still believed (When the valley was low)
It didn't stop me (No it didn't stop me no)
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (Oh yeah)
I still believed (Oh I still believed)
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting (Someday, someway, someplace, somehow, for me)
I didn't falter (When the valley was low)
I still believed (I still believed)
