Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Mmm
[PreChorus]
Somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes, I did
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith
I know you did
Kept my faith
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
With an endless desire
I, 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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
So we were drawn together through destiny (Ooh, boy (Ooh))
I know this love we share was meant to be (Oh)
[Verse 3]
I knew you were waiting (Woohoo, yeah)
Knew you were waiting (I knew you were waiting)
Knew you were waiting for me
[Outro]
I didn't falter (I didn't falter, no)
I still believed (When the valley was low)
It didn't stop me (Yeah, nothing can stop me, no)
I knew you were waiting (No way, no how)
I knew you were waiting for me
[Outro]
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 (For me)
I knew you were waiting for me (Yeah)
[Outro]
I didn't falter (Oh, aw, yeah)
I still believed (Oh, I still believed)
It didn't stop me (No) (Yeah, no, it couldn't stop me now)
I knew you were waiting (Some way, somehow) (Some day, some place)
For me
[Outro]
I didn't falter (When the valley was low)
I still believed (I believed, I believed) (I still believed)
It didn't stop me (Yeah, nothing could stop me, oh yeah)
Knew you were waiting (No way)
