Song For The Saints Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

Long before a boat anchored the harbor 

Long before steel drums filled the breeze 

God lifted these islands from the ocean 

And they stood strong for centuries 

So it's fitting they were named after men with golden halos 

'Cause angels don't give it just 'cause of 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 

With just a sinner's choir singing a song for the saints 

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oh-oh 

Whoa-oa-oa-oh 

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oh-oh 

Whoa-oa-oa-oh

For the farmer in the field of sugar cane 

For the drunkard in his hammock drying out after the rain 

For the teacher in the classroom, kid kicking cans in the street 

For the captain and his barmaid praying down on bended knee 

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 

With just a sinner's choir singing a song for the saints 

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oh-oh 

Whoa-oa-oa-oh 

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oh-oh 

Whoa-oa-oa-oh 

This brokeness will heal 

This weakness will be strong 

Let's lift our voice together 

As the saints go marching on
