Chesney, Kenny - Song For The Saints Lyrics






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 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 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
We're 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

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 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 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

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oh-oh
Whoa-oa-oa-oh

    This is not my favorite of KC's songs. Some of his songs make me tear up, but I can't find the story or meaning in this one.

    r.... i....

    Devastation from the Hurricanes Irma& Maria destroyed these Beautiful Islands St.John's& St.Thomas how the people who live there came together as one with Kenny to rebuild the Island's Kenny loves💙💙💙💙

    r.... i....

    I agree. It's good some really good lines, especially at the beginning, but I can't follow it after that. Most KC songs kick ass, though.

  31. d.... s....

    I was never one of those "that song was written for me" people but I feel that this song was. After going through back to back category 5 hurricanes Irma and Maria in the USVI, every lyric is true and hits a chord every time I hear it. For those of you that have not experienced a cat 5 it's like a tornado pounding your house for 8 hours. I choke up every time I hear this. It fits Virgin Islanders we are a "sinners choir singing a song for the saints" St John, St Thomas and St Croix!

  32. N.... D....

    #282 - Growing up all I heard about was don't mess with the Cirque...what's the difference between now and then.

  33. C.... G....

    I get chills this song is so much angels amen lord !!!

  34. T.... S....

    I wonder if I could buy one of those signs for my wall. Just listening to this song makes me happy.

  35. l.... h....

    Love Kenny ❤️

  36. M.... W....

    I love his music

  37. K.... F....

    You are awesome

  38. C.... G....

    Amen this song really makes your soul say hey we got this as long as we belive and never lose our faith amen beautiful song !!!

  39. T.... S....

    I don't understand this song.

    T.... S....

    The rebuilding of the Beautiful Island's from Hurricane Irma St.John's St Thomas how the people all come together that live there to rebuild Kenny has donated the money from Cd sales to these Beautiful Island's that Kenny calls home ❤❤

    T.... S....

    "We say we can when they say we cant, we see what it is when they see what it aint, with blood sweat and tears and a new coat of paint we're just a sinners choir singing a song for the saints." The saints are St Thomas, St John and St Croix all three of us were pounded by 2 cat 5 storms Irma and Maria within 2 weeks. All three islands were devastated. It looked hopeless and ugly, but with work we all sprang back, with still lot of work to do. The storms were the great equalizer, no mater how rich or poor you were you had no power for months, had to wait in long lines for ice and gas and groceries. We were cut off as the only way to get supplies is cargo ship. I had no power for 3 months. So us Virgin Islanders are the "sinners choir singing a song for the Saints" Some people still do not have roofs. Lucky my house is built like a tank. All my windows leaked some blew out but the house and roof held.
