| The saints and the sinners | |
| Are waiting for their paradise & all the new beginners | |
| Prepare to make the sacrifice | |
| All the sons and the daughters | |
| Who think that they have seen the light | |
| Will surely walk on water | |
| If they give it all they've got tonight | |
| Sometimes that's all it takes | |
| Some quiet desperation and a leap of faith | |
| Hands up, | |
| Get in line | |
| It's time to step into the light | |
| Hands up, | |
| Wait for the sign | |
| We're gonna raise the roof tonight | |
| And the new solution | |
| Is just a buck or two away | |
| A healthy contribution | |
| Will help to get you on your way | |
| I can see you're nervous | |
| But goot things come to those who wait | |
| I'l be at your service | |
| Just don't forget to fill the plate | |
| There's always a saving grace | |
| So tell yourself you're going to a better place | |
| Hands up, | |
| Get in line | |
| It's time to step into the light | |
| Hand's up, wait for the sign | |
| We're gonna raise the roof tonight | |
| Hands up, | |
| Don't be shy | |
| You're finally gonna see the light | |
| Hands up, | |
| Wait for the sign | |
| We're gonna raise the roof tonight [repeat chorus] |
