- Awake And Alive Lyrics / with translationsSongwriters: Cooper, John; Howes, Brian;
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
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 now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
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
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 now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up 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
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 now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
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
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 now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
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
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up 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
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 now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up

I believe this is about him finding his faith in God and having it really open his eyes to how amazing it is. he states that it's his life he'll do what he wants, and that sounds to me like he doesn't care what anyone else thinks of him. He's proud of his faith and wants to express it.

God gives us free will.
If not,
What would be the use in this whole human existence?
If not for free will we would simply be the puppets of a puppet master.
Quite a narsidistic and sadistic thought...
The world has sold out to the dark side but as for me,
I will stand because,
This is my life and,
I'm awake and I'm alive!
WAKE-UP!!!

I think its saying that well,he's battling with this wicked world,cuz he's not gonna sell his soul. And the chorus means,its his life,no one else. He was lost once,but he's found his place.
