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
