"I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" lyrics

Meshell Ndegeocello & Cynthia Erivo Lyrics

"I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"

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
Oh, I escaped Aha ha
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 kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
And like a bridge that's 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)
(I know you don't)
When I think of all those disappointments
I gotta laugh (I know you do)
(I know you do)

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, hey, I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together through destiny, ooh, ooh!
I know this love we share was meant to be, oh
Ooh, yeah
(Knew you were waiting)
(Knew you were waiting for me)
(Knew you were waiting)
Oooh

When the river was deep
(I didn't falter) I didn't falter, no
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)
(Knew you been waiting)
When the river was deep
(Knew you been waiting)
(Knew you were waiting)
When the mountain was high
I kept my faith
Oh, when the valley was low
(Knew you been waiting)
(Knew you been waiting for me)
(I knew you were waiting for me)
(I knew you were waiting for me)
I've waited so long, and now you're here
