Kenny Chesney - Song for the Saints lyrics

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 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
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
