I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me) - GEORGE MICHAEL WITH ARETHA FRANKLIN

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
I 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 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 (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
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 shared was meant to be
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter, I didn't falter
I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me (nothing can stop me, no)
I knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me
No, it didn't stop me, no
I knew you were waiting
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 (do you know it didn't stop me, no?)
I knew you were waiting, someday, some way, some way, somehow
For me
I didn't falter, when the valley was low
I still believed, and I still believed (I believe)
