[Intro: Warryn Campbell]
Whew, it sure is hot out here, you know
I don't mind, though
I'm just glad to be free, you know what I'm saying?
Uh
[Chorus: Mary Mary & Warryn Campbell]
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise You (What you wanna do?)
I just wanna praise You (Yeah, yeah)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (Feel me?)
And I'm gonna praise You (What you gon' do?)
I'm gonna praise You
[Verse 1: Erica]
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 was gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise You through my circumstance
[Chorus: Mary Mary]
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (So I can dance)
I just wanna praise You (Just wanna praise You)
I just wanna praise You (Just wanna 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
[Verse 2: Tina]
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 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
[Chorus: Mary Mary]
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (So I can dance)
I just wanna praise You (Woo)
I just wanna praise You (Yeah, hey)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (Woo, yeah-yeah)
And I'm gonna praise You (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna praise You (I'm gonna, I'm gonna praise You)
[Bridge: Mary Mary]
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
[Chorus: Mary Mary]
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (So I can dance y'all)
I just wanna praise You (Ooh)
I just wanna 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, praise You, yeah)
[Chorus: Mary Mary]
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance ('Cause I just wanna)
I just wanna praise You ('Cause I just wanna)
I just wanna 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 (Yeah, come on, dance with me)
[Chorus: Mary Mary]
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (I just wanna praise You)
I just wanna praise You ('Cause I'm free tonight)
I just wanna praise You (Yes, I'm free, yeah)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise You (Yeah)
I'm gonna praise You (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro: Warryn Campbell & Mary Mary]
Take 'em off, take 'em off
What you gonna do?
Yeah, yeah
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
Broke all the chains
And I'm gonna praise You
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna praise You
What you gonna do?
