We are travelling in the footsteps
of those who have gone before,
but we´ll all be reunited
on a new and sunlit shore.
Oh when the saints go marching in,
when the saints go marching in,
oh Lord, I want to be in that number,
when the saints go marching in.
And when the sun refuse to shine,
and when the sun refuse to shine,
oh Lord, I want to be in that number,
when the saints go marching in.
And when the moon turns red with blood,
and when the moon turns red with blood,
oh Lord, I want to be in that number,
when the saints go marching in.
Oh when the trumpet sounds the call,
oh when the trumpet sounds the call,
oh Lord, I want to be in that number,
when the saints go marching in.
Some say this world of trouble
is the only world we need,
but I´m waiting for that morning
when the new world is revealed.
Oh when the saints go marching in,
oh when the saints go marching in,
oh Lord, I want to be in that number,
when the saints go marching in.
