Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Awake and Alive. By Songfacts®.

This guitar anthem is the title track from Christian rock band Skillet's eighth studio album, Awake.

The song features alternating male/female vocals between frontman John Cooper and new drummer Jen Ledger.

Cooper (from New Release Today): "Tying in with 'Hero,' here's one about feeling like you're falling under from all the stresses of life. Even though you feel like everyone around you is trying to take your hope away from you, no one has the right to do that and you shouldn't allow those negative influences to weigh you down. Live what you believe and don't be afraid to stand up for your faith. The song is about the idea that every day you wake up, there's a war for our souls."
