I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (with Cynthia Erivo)

Mm-mm

Ooh-ooh

Ooh, boy

Like a warrior that fights and wins the battles

I know the taste of victory

And though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows

I was crippled emotionally, mm

Somehow, I made it through the heartache (yes, I did)

Oh-oh, yes, I did, yes, I did

I found my way out of the darkness

Kept my faith (kept my faith, I know you did)

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, knew you were waiting for mе

Ooh, ooh

With an endless desire, I kept on searching (searching)

Sure, in time my eyes would meet (for you)

And like a bridge that's on fire, the hurt is over

One touch and you set me free, mm-mm

I don't regret a single moment (no, I don't, no, I don't)

I know you don't, I know you don't

When I think of all those disappointments

I gotta laugh (hm, I know you do, I know, 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, no)

I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me

So, we were drawn together through destiny (ooh, no, no)

I know this love we share was meant to be, ooh (ooh)

Knew you were waiting (knew you were waiting for me)

Oh, yeah (knew you were waiting)

Ooh-ooh

When the river was deep, I didn't falter

When the mountain was high, I still believed

When the valley was low (uh), it didn't stop me (uh)

I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me

We've been waiting (knew you were waiting for me)

We've been waiting (I knew you're waiting)

When the river was deep (when the river was deep)

We've been waiting (knew you were waiting for me)

When the mountain was high (we've been waiting)

We've been waiting (I got my faith)

When the valley was low (uh), we've been waiting

We've been waiting (uh, for me, waiting for me)

We've been waiting (knew you were waiting for me, yeah, yeah)

I knew you were waiting for me

I've waited so long

And now you're here
