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 (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

With an endless desire
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
No, I don't regret a single moment
No, I don't
Looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (I know you do)
I just laugh

Chorus

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
