Revival
Cain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are days when I wake up
And my faith is cold and tired
And the light feels so dim
It′s not like me just to give up
So I'm bringing you my dry bones
Breathe in me again
I need that wind to start blowing
I need these eyes to be opened
I need my heart to keep hoping
So I′m calling out

I need a revival, feel you moving in my soul
Give me that fire I haven't felt in far too long
Holy Ghost come awaken, bring me back to the days when
Wonder working power, was alive in me
Oh I need a revival (revival)
Revival (revival)
Revival (revival)
Ohh

I remember the first time
When the words in the Bible
Jumped right off the page, ohh
A new beginning and a new life
Felt the joy of my salvation
Oh won't you take me, take me there today

I need a revival, feel you moving in my soul
Give me that fire I haven′t felt in far too long
Holy Ghost come awaken, bring me back to the days when
Wonder working power, was alive in me
Oh I need a revival (revival)
Revival (revival)
Revival (revival)
Ohhh

I need that wind to start blowing
I need these eyes to be opened
I need my heart to keep hoping
So I′m calling out
I need that wind to start blowing
I need these eyes to be opened
I need my heart to keep hoping
So I'm calling out
I need that wind to start blowing (wind to start blowing)
I need these eyes to be opened (eyes to be opened)
I need my heart to keep hoping
Oh, I′m calling out

I need a revival, feel you moving in my soul
Give me that fire I haven't felt in far too long
Holy Ghost come awaken, bring me back to the days when
Wonder working power, was alive in me
Oh I need a revival (revival)
Revival (revival)
Revival (I need a revival)
Ohh
Oh I need a revival (revival)
Revival (revival)




Revival (revival)
Ohh

Overall Meaning

The song "Revival" by Cain is a call to God for a spiritual revival in the singer's life. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer wakes up feeling spiritually dead and disconnected from God. He feels like he has lost the fire that he used to have and is asking God to breathe in him again, fill him with the Holy Ghost and rekindle the faith he once possessed. The singer remembers the time when he first felt the joy of his salvation and is pleading with God to bring him back to those days when the wonder-working power of God was alive in him. The chorus repeats the need for a revival, immersing the listeners in the singer's plea for God to move in his soul once again and bring new life to his faith.


The song touches on the topic of spiritual revivals, which refer to the renewal and refreshment of one's relationship with God. Revivals can occur on a personal or communal level and are characterized by an increase in spiritual fervor and a desire to seek God and His presence wholeheartedly. This song is an appeal for God to bring back the fire that once burned brightly in the singer's life, a common experience for many Christians who have gone through seasons of dryness or spiritual dullness.
