Lyrics

[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 slipping from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
[Verse 2]
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)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
[Verse 5]
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
[Verse 8]
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
