Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Long before boat anchor the harbor
Long before still drums filled the breeze
God lifted these islands from the ocean
They stood strong for centuries
[Verse 2]
So it's fitting they were named after men with golden halos
'Cause angels don't give in just cause a little wind blows
[Verse 3]
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 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 6]
This brokenness will heal
This weakness will be strong
Let's lift our voice together
As the saints go marchin' on
[Verse 7]
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-
[Verse 8]
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
