I knew you were waiting
Wham! / George Michael Lyrics

Like a warrior that fights and wins the battle
I am a fighter who never gives up and knows how to win.

I know the taste of victory
I have experienced success and know how it feels.

Though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows
There were times when I was in darkness and felt lost.

I was crippled emotionally
Emotionally, I was in a bad place and felt unable to function properly.

Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes, I did
Despite the pain I felt, I managed to survive it and come out the other side.

Oh, I escaped (aha ha)
I broke free from the difficult situation that was holding me back.

I found my way out of the darkness
I was able to overcome the tough period in my life and find light at the end of the tunnel.

I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith
Throughout the difficult times, I held on to my beliefs and never lost hope.

When the river was deep, I didn't falter
Even when things were tough, I didn't give up and kept pushing through.

When the mountain was high, I still believed
Despite the challenges, I maintained my faith and confidence that I could overcome them.

When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no
Even when I faced the lowest of lows, I refused to let it keep me down.

I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
I had a strong feeling that someone special was waiting for me and that our paths would cross.

With an endless desire, I kept on searching
I had an unwavering determination to find what I was looking for.

Sure in time our eyes would meet
I was certain that eventually, I would meet the person I was meant to be with.

And like a bridge that's on fire, the hurt is over
Once I met that special someone, the pain and hurt of my past melted away.

One touch and you set me free
The love of the person I was waiting for freed me from my emotional shackles.

No, I don't regret a single moment, no, I don't
Looking back on my difficult journey, I have no regrets about the steps that led me to where I am now.

(I know you don't) Looking back
I am confident that you also have no regrets about the past.

When I think of all those disappointments
Reflecting on past failures and disappointments.

I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh
I can now look back and laugh at those painful experiences.

So we were drawn together through destiny, ooh boy, ooh!
The person I was meant to be with was pulled into my life by fate.

I know this love we share was meant to be, oh
I am convinced that the love between us was preordained and destined to happen.

(Knew you were waiting) Ooh, yeah
I had a strong feeling that you were out there waiting for me.

(Knew you were waiting) I knew you were waiting
I was certain that you were waiting for me, just as I was waiting for you.

(Knew you were waiting for me)
I had faith that we would eventually find each other.

(I didn't falter) I didn't falter, no
No matter what obstacles came my way, I never lost my determination or drive.

(It didn't stop me) Nothing can stop me, no
No matter how difficult the challenge, I have the strength and willpower to overcome it.

Someday (someway), some place (somehow)
I knew that, eventually, our paths would cross, even if I didn't know when or how.

(It didn't stop me) No, it didn't stop me, no
Even when faced with insurmountable odds, I never lost my determination.

(Knew you were waiting) stop me
I was certain that you would be the one to give me the strength to push onward.

(Knew you were waiting for me)
I had faith that we would eventually find each other.

(I still believed) I still believe (I believed, I believed)
My unshakable faith kept me going, even during the most difficult of times.

(It didn't stop me) Yeah, it couldn't stop me now? No
The challenges I faced were no match for my strength and determination.
