[Verse 1 — Male]
I’m fighting shadows of this world,
They try to drag me further down.
I’m reaching out to hold my faith
As I’m slipping from your arms somehow.
It’s getting harder just to breathe,
My strength is fading, turning weak—
But then your voice comes calling me.
[Pre-Chorus — Female]
I hear you trembling in the dark,
Still searching for a place to rise.
Let me be the fire in your chest,
Let me bring you back to life.
[Chorus — Both]
(Male) I’m awake—
(Female) I’m alive—
(Both) And now I feel the truth ignite inside.
This is my time, this is my fight,
I’ll choose my path, it’s my own life.
(Male) Here—right here—
(Female) Right now—right now—
(Both) I’ll hold my ground, I won’t back down.
I know the fire I hold inside—
I’m awake, and I’m alive.

[Verse 2 — Female]
The world is tearing at my soul,
But I refuse to let it win.
My heart is set, my mind is firm,
No force can ever make me bend.
And when my courage starts to fade,
And fear begins to sink me in—
I feel your breath revive again.
[Pre-Chorus — Male]
I see you standing through the storm,
A blazing force against the night.
Let me be the pulse beneath your wings,
Let me lift you back to light.

[Chorus — Both, stronger]
(Male) I’m awake—
(Female) I’m alive—
(Both) And now the truth is burning bright inside.
This is our time, our battle cry—
We’ll break the chains, reclaim our lives.
(Male) Here—right here—
(Female) Right now—right now—
(Both) We rise as one, we won’t back down.
Together holding what’s inside—
We’re awake, and we’re alive.

[Bridge — Both, call & echo]
Male: Waking up, waking up…
Female: I hear you rising from the dark…
Male: Waking up, waking up…
Female: I feel your heartbeat in my arms…
Both: Waking up… waking up…
---
[Outro — Female + Male harmony]
In the night, I feel you reach for me,
In your warmth, you breathe new light in me.
Hold this heart—forever it’s for you,
And I will live my life for you.
Both:
Awake… alive…
Our truth, our fire, our rise.
