Whoo
It sure is hot out here
Ya know?
I don't mind thought
Just glad to be free
Know what I'm saying, uh

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just want to praise you
(What ya want to do?)
I just want to praise you
(Yeah, yeah)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
(Uh feel me?)
And I'm gonna praise you
(What ya gon do?)
I'm gonna praise you

In the corners of mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free
Cause you see I have been down for so long
Feel like the hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise you through my circumstance

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (I can dance)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
I just want to praise you (I just want to praise you)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gon' lose my mind
But I know you want to see
If I will hold on through these trials
But I need you to lift this load
Cause I can't take it no more

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (so I can dance)
I just want to praise you (woo-hoo-hoo)
I just want to praise you (yeah)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (woah, yeah)
And I'm gonna praise you (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna praise you (I'm gonna, I'm gonna praise you)

Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go right now

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (so I can dance)
I just want to praise you (woo-hoo-hoo)
I just want to praise you (I wanna praise you)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise you (praise you)
I'm gonna praise you (praise you)

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance ('cause I just wanna)
I just want to praise you ('cause I just wanna)
I just want to praise you (yeah, yeah)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise you (praise you)
I'm gonna praise you (c'mon (?) with me)

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
(I just want to praise you) I just want to praise you
('Cause I'm free tonight) I just want to praise you (yes I'm free)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm gonna praise you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Take them off, take them off
What ya gonna do, yeah

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (broke off the chains)
And I'm gonna praise you (what ya gonna do?)
I'm gonna praise you (what ya gonna do?)
