Franklin Aretha - 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 And was crippled emotionally Somehow I made it through the heartace I escaped I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith Kept my faith And 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 With and 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 Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments I just laugh, I just laugh And 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 So we were drawn together through destiny I know this love we share was meant to be It's only love
