Out in the Open
Amy Grant
They were the sweetest words I'd ever heardMy heart could barely take it inLike water offered to the lipsOf a tired and thirsty man
'cause it's a tangled web of wovenI don't know all the reasonsBut it amazes me to wake upTo your mercy every morning
So I'm standing here spinning aroundIn the fields of freedomAnd I'm still alive and reaching outAnd I can feel the healing
'cause you sayCome on out come on outCome on out come on outOut in the openCome on out come on outCome on out come on outInto the lightThere is no juryThere is no judgeReady and waitingAre the steady arms of love

It contained the lines "I used to sing for fortune / I used to sing for fame", and I thought the first part sounded like "I used to sing for poitín". Poitín (pronounced "potcheen") is a kind of Irish hard liquor made from potatoes, so it would make sense in context.
