Song for the Saints歌词

Long before a boat anchored the harbour
Long before steel drums filled the breeze
God lifted these islands from the ocean
They stood strong for centuries
So it's fitting they were named after men with golden halos
'Cause angels don't give in just cause a little wind blows
We say we can when they say we can't
See what it is when they see what it ain't
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the saints
Woah woah
Woah woah
For the farmer in the field of sugar cane
For the drunkard in his hammock dryin' out after the rain
For the teacher in the classroom kid kickin' cans in the street
For the captain and his bar mate prayin' down on bended knees
We say we can when they say we can't
See what it is when they see what it ain't
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the saints
Woah woah
Woah woah
This brokenness will heal this weakness will be strong
Let's lift our voice together as the saints go marchin' on
We say we can when they say we can't
See what it is when they see what it ain't
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the
We say we can when they say we can't
See what it is when they see what it ain't
With blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the saints
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
