Awake in your light

(Verse 1 – mid-tempo, melodic vocals with building intensity)

I was lost in the shadows, chasing ghosts in the night

Broken pieces of me, scattered under streetlights

Every promise I made just crumbled in my hands

Screaming questions to the sky, didn't understand

But then You called my name through the silence and the storm

Pulled me from the wreckage, made this dead heart reborn

(Pre-Chorus – tension building, guitars getting heavier)

I can't hide anymore, these scars tell my story

Every tear that I cried led me straight to Your glory

(Chorus – big, soaring anthemic hook with layered vocals, crowd-sing-along energy)

I'm awake in Your light, burning brighter than fire

You saved me from the fall, lifted me higher and higher

No more running, no more hiding my pain

In Your arms I'm found, and I'll never be the same

Awake! Awake! In the grace that covers me

Jesus, You're the only One who set my spirit free!

(Verse 2 – similar energy, slightly more urgent)

World tried to define me, said I'd never be enough

Voices in my head screaming I was just too rough

But You saw through the mess, saw the man I could be

Spoke truth over lies and You gave Your life for me

Now the chains are breaking, hear the heavens roar

I'm rising from the ashes, won't be silent anymore

(Pre-Chorus – heavier this time)

No more fear in my chest, Your love is my defense

Every battle I face, You've already won it since

(Chorus – even bigger, with some vocal runs and harmonized "whoa-ohs")

I'm awake in Your light, burning brighter than fire

You saved me from the fall, lifted me higher and higher

No more running, no more hiding my pain

In Your arms I'm found, and I'll never be the same

Awake! Awake! In the grace that covers me

Jesus, You're the only One who set my spirit free!

(Bridge – breakdown style: heavy guitars drop to half-time, raw emotional vocals then building to a scream/shout section)

I was drowning... (I was drowning)

You pulled me out... (You pulled me out)

All my doubt is fading now

I surrender, take me now!

(Short scream/build: LET THE OLD ME DIE!)

Rise up! Rise up! This is my revival cry!

(Final Chorus – full band explosion, double-time feel or massive layered vocals)

I'm awake in Your light, burning brighter than fire!

Redeemed by the blood, fueled by holy desire!

No more running, no more chains on my soul

With You I am whole, and Your story's my goal

Awake! Awake! Let the whole world see

I'm alive in Christ, and He's alive in me!

(Outro – fading with clean guitars and echoing vocals)

Awake... in Your light...

Yeah, I'm awake... forever...
