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 good things come to those who wait I'll 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]
