| Of those who’ve gone before
|
| But we’ll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)
|
| On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)
|
| Oh 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 (begins) to shine
|

|
| Is the only one we need
|
| But I’m waiting for that morning
|
| When the new world is revealed
|
| When the revelation (revolution) comes
