Awake And Alive

This arrangement takes the popular heavy metal hit by Skillet and reinvents it as a beautiful, mysterious ballad. The lyrics deal with standing strong amidst the stresses of life. The first verse is shared between 2 soloists (multiple voice-part options available), and the arrangement also features 2 violin parts (which could also be played on a synth).

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Violins/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/2 Alto, 1 Tenor, 1 Bari Sax

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
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
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm 

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
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
