In each and every heart there is a prison cell A penitentiary of sorrow and shame We languish away in this jailhouse mentality Doing our time in these cages of self-blame How we long to drag deep into starving lungs The sweet fragrance of priceless liberty We seek with blinded eyes, grope with numbed fingers Cry with muted voices for someone to set us free All this time right here beside us Stands the Savior to lead us through the gate He holds the key, He calls to our spirits We rage and we struggle but still He waits There's a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain Open your eyes and look at all you will gain There's a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains, oh For each and every life there is a shining light A hope for blinded eyes that hunger to see A call to repentance, a cry for compa**ion A prayer for salvation that reaches past humanity There is a boldness where once there was timidity A spirit of the sound mind where once there was fear A fortress of strength in a battlefield of compromise Standing our ground for His return draws ever near In this connectedness of love and compa**ion This wondrous common bond, we servants by our actions agree That we will never change by our own devices But if we lift our heads the answer is easy to see There's a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain Open your eyes and look at all you will gain There's a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains, oh And all this time right here beside us Stands the Savior to lead us through the gate He holds the key, He calls to our spirits We rage and struggle but still He waits There's a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain Open your eyes and look at all you will gain There's a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains There's a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain Open your eyes and look at all you will gain There's a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains, oh Dance away from your chain
