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, mm...
Somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes, I did, I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness
Kept my faith (I know you did)
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, no)
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me (Uh-huh)

With an endless desire
I, I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridges on fire
The hurt is over
One took the chain and set me free (No)
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 (Oh)
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny, ooh, boy
I know this love we share is meant to be (Oh, oh)
I knew you were waiting (Woo-hoo)
I knew you were waiting (I knew you were waiting)
I knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (I didn't falter, boy)
I still believed (When the valley was low)
It didn't stop me (Oh, it couldn't stop me, no)
I knew you were waiting (No way, no way)
I knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (When the mountain was high)
I still believed (Oh, when the valley was low)
It didn't stop me (No, it didn't stop me, no)
I knew you were waiting (Someday)
I knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (Oh, yeah)
I still believed (Oh, I still believed)
It didn't stop me (You know it couldn't stop me, no)
I knew you were waiting (Someday, somewhere, somehow)
I knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (When the valley was low)
I still believed (I still believed, I believed, I believed)
It didn't stop me (And I knew it couldn't stop me)
I knew you were waiting (No way, oh, yeah)
I knew you were waiting for me
I knew someday, somewhere, somehow (Somehow)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah (Oh, yeah)
He knew somehow (Ooh, baby, mm-hmm)
I knew you were waiting (I knew you'd be waiting)
I knew you were waiting for me (I knew you'd be waiting for me)
Waiting, waiting for me (Yeah)
Waiting, waiting for me (I knew someday, somewhere, somehow)
Oh, yeah, oh, oh (Mm-hmm, knew you'd be waiting)
I knew you were waiting (I knew)
I knew you were waiting for me (I knew, woo, mm)
I knew someday, somewhere, somehow (Somehow)
Somehow (Oh, yeah, mm-hmm)
I knew you were waiting (I knew you'd be waiting)
I knew you were waiting for me (I knew you'd be waiting for me)
I knew someday, somewhere, somehow
I knew someday, somewhere, somehow
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me
