Intro verse 1 Long before boat anchored the harbour Long before steel drums filled the breeze God lifted these islands from the ocean They stood strong for centuries Pre-Chorus So it’s fitting they were named after men with golden halos ’Cause angels don’t give it just cause a little wind blows Chorus 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 sinners choir singing a song for the saints Woah woah Woah woah verse 2 For the farmer the field the sugar cane For the drunkered in his hammock Drying out after the rain For the teacher in the classroom Kid kicking cans in the street With a captain and his bar mate Praying down on bended knees Chorus 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 sinners choir singing a song for the saints Woah woah Woah woah Bridge This brokenness will heal This weakness will be strong Let’s lift our voice together As the saints go marching on Chorus 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 sinners choir singing 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 sinners choir singing a song for the saints Woah woah Woah woah Woah woah
