[Verse 1]
I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms
(It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last)
[Chorus]
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want
'cause this is my life
Here (Right here)
Right now (Right now)
(stand my ground and never back down)
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
[Verse 2]
I'm at war with the world
'Cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what, I can't be bought or sold
(When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again)
[Chorus]
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here (Right here)
Right now (Right now)
(stand my ground and never back down)
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
[Bridge]
In the dark, I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms, I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you
(Forever I will live for you)
[Chorus Variation]
I'm awake, and I'm alive
(I'm alive)
(Forever I will live for you)
I'm awake, and I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here (Right here)
Right now (Right now)
(stand my ground and never back down)
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
I'm awake, and I'm alive
(I'm alive)
I'm awake, and I'm alive
(I'm alive)
I'm awake, and I'm alive
(I'm awake, and I'm alive)
Forever I will live for you
(Forever I will live for you)
I'm awake, and I'm alive
(I'm alive)
(Forever I will live for you)
Forever I will live for you
I'm awake, and I'm alive
(I'm alive)
(Forever I will live for you)
[Outro]
I'm awake, I'm alive
Forever I will live for you
I'm awake, and I'm alive
