Lyrics
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights
Consumed by shadows
I was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes I did. I escaped.
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
With an endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridge is 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) looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh
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.
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
I didn't falter
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
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

It's 2024 is anyone still listening I know I am.

George Michael came to Detroit and did 2 nights of his Faith concert. What an extra special treat when he said he usually had to do this duet by himself "but not tonight! Please help me welcome Aretha Franklin!" And we got to hear this as it was meant to be heard. What a special experience!!
-
Rip Mrs Aretha Franklin she was great woman of modern music, like George Michael was one of great men
-
One of if not the best duets. The tones in both voices always gives goosebumps. Still listening nearly 40 years later!
-
Not many male vocalists could or would dare to sing alongside the great Aretha Franklin but George did that! A true classic.
-
It's 2023 & this is STILL one of the best duets ever with two of some of the best voices ever-RIP Queen & George❤❤🌹🌹
-
Wow, just wow. No one makes music like this today. No one. These were special, magical times for music that may never be seen again. Love, positive messages and incredible writing. Unlike today's disgusting satanic depravity. Great times. What a time to be alive.

Rest in Heavenly peace Queen Aretha. 1942-2018 & George Michael 1963-2016 ❤❤❤

I am 74 years old and these were two of the greatest of those artists who provided the soundtrack of my youth. This still gives me goosebumps.

To those who think this is a love song - it is to GOD - Aretha and George proclaiming their faith in plain sight: 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 May they rest in peace and rise in glory.

The passing of George hit me hard. It still does. This collaboration is pure GOLD. R.I.P YOG & Aretha. I’m sure you are having a ball singing together. You are both so missed and so loved.
-
I saw George Michael in a very old interview saying when he was first approached about doing this duet he said no as he did not feel he was in her league. So happy he finally got enough confidence and said yes. This duet is one of the greatest ever by two of the biggest artists ever to exist.
-
Pause: The moment you realize that your childhood heroes are passing on .. R.I.P to two of the greatest souls we’ve ever heard.
-
This song went to No 1 on Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.

Happy Heavenly Birthday 6/25/2024 (61) 🎂🕊🔥
