(Aretha) 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 And was crippled emotionally
(George) Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes I did I escaped I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith Kept my faith
(Chorus) And 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
(Aretha) With an endless desire I kept on searching Sure in time our eyes would meet
And like the bridge is on fire The hurt is over One touch and you set me free
(George) I don't regret a single moment, no I don't Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments I just laugh, 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 I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me
