(whoo!
It sure is hot out here
Ya know?
I don't mind, though.
Just glad to be free.
Know what i'm saying, uh!)

Take the shackles off my feet so i can dance
I just wanna praise you
(what'cha wanna do?)
I just wanna praise you
(yeah, yeah)
You broke the chains now i can lift my hands
(uh feel me?)
And i'm gonna praise you
(what'cha gondo?)
I'm gonna praise you

In the corners of my 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 all 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 just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now 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 gonlose my mind
But i know you wanna 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
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now i can lift my hands
And i'm gonna praise you
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
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now i can lift my hands
And i'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
(repeat x3)

Take them off
What'cha gonna do, yeah

Take the shackles off my feet so i can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now i can lift my hands
And i'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
