Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You put fire inside my bones
And you completely anointed me
But if I don't renew my soul
Then what does it profit me.
OH where would be without you by

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Abel Chungu Musuka's song, Awake, express a deep sense of gratitude and dependence on a higher power. The opening lines, "You put fire inside my bones and you completely anointed me," suggest that the singer has been blessed with an inner strength and purpose, presumably by God. However, this blessing comes with a responsibility, as the subsequent line, "But if I don't renew my soul, then what does it profit me," implies that the singer must work to maintain this strength and purpose through ongoing spiritual renewal. Without this constant renewal, the blessings bestowed upon the singer would lose their significance and meaning.

The rest of the lyrics are essentially a prayer or a declaration of faith, with the singer expressing their unwavering dependence on God. The repeated line, "OH where would be without you by my side and how do breathe without your breath of life," emphasizes the importance of God in the singer's life, highlighting how impossible it would be for them to survive without His presence. The repeated use of "awake" further emphasizes the importance of being spiritually conscious and aware, and the final lines, "You are meant to shine like the sun shine like the sun...OH I can see the morning I can see the light rise and shine for your light has come," suggest a sense of hope and optimism that comes with faith.
