Kenny Chesney Song For The Saints Lyrics

[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
