1. Like a warrior that fights and wins the battle,
- D
I know the taste of victory,
D
G
though I went through some
nights, consumed by the shadows,
D
I was crippled emotionally.
Em D
Somehow I made it through the
heartache,
Em D
yes I did, I escaped.
Em D
I found my way out of the
darkness,
Em A
I kept my faith (I know you
did), kept my faith.
D G
When the river was deep I didn't falter,
D G
when the mountain was high I still believed,
D G
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no,
Em D
Em A
D
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me.
D

2. With an endless desire, I kept on searching,
D
sure in time our eyes would
meet.
D G
Like the bridge is on fire,
the hurt is over,
D
one touch and you set me free.
Em D
I don't regret a single
moment,
Em D
no, I don't, looking back,
Em D
When I think of all those
disappointments
Em A
I just laugh (I know you do),
I just laugh.
D G
When the river was deep I didn't falter,
D G
when the mountain was high I still believed,

When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no,
Em D Em A D
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me.

So we were drawn together
through destiny, oh, 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.

when the valley was low, it didn't stop me,
