Whoo! It sure is hot out here, ya know?
I don't mind though, just glad to be great, know what I'm saying, uh!
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.
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 gonna 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.
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.
Take them off, whatcha gonna do, yeah.
