Lyrics
We are trav'ling in the footsteps
We are following the path of those who came before us.
Of those who've gone before,
Continuing the journey in the footsteps of predecessors.
And we'll all be reunited,
Anticipation of a reunion on a new and bright shore.
On a new and sunlit shore,
Reference to a future gathering in a positive environment.
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Expressing a desire for inclusion when the saints are celebrated.
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Repetition emphasizing the anticipation of a joyous event.
Lord, how I want to be in that number
Expressing a strong desire to be part of the celebrated group.
When the saints go marching in
Reiterating the wish to be included when the saints are honored.
And when the sun refuse to shine
Desiring to be part of a positive gathering even in difficult times.
And when the sun refuse to shine
Repetition emphasizing the desire during challenging situations.
Lord, how I want to be in that number
Expressing the longing to be part of a celebrated community in adversity.
When the sun refuse to shine

And when the moon turns red with blood

Lord, how I want to be in that number
Expressing a strong desire to be part of a significant occurrence.
When the moon turns red with blood
Reiterating the wish to be included in a moment of importance.
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Anticipation and desire to be part of a significant announcement.
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call

Some say this world of trouble,
Acknowledging the challenges in the current world.

Suggesting contentment with the troubles of the present world.
But I'm waiting for that morning,
Waiting for a better future, anticipating a positive change.
