SHACKLES BY MARY MARY

LYRICS

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 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 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 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 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 anymore

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 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 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
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

  1. FREED

    You mouth the words
    that I couldn’t hear,
    gaze into my eyes
    to see a million miles
    I’d never known.
    Take the shackles
    I placed myself,
    on mind & hands & feet
    so I can dance
    to a long lost song
    and sing a new dream
    to the center of it all.

  2. Tothering and weak
    besmirch in pain
    i brake the shackles
    to let this jaded
    spirit fly..
    cuz big girls don’t cry
    they hold their
    head up high
    for all the right reasons ..
    and life goes on in seasons
    to partake in a rhythm
    in persuasion of freedom

  3. All I ever wanted was good
    all I got was bad from
    the coffers of the world I better.

    Shackled in arm and thought
    I war bedeviling beaut
    as the sun wears dust with light.

    It chokes an almost sane mind
    and makes it sneeze righteousness
    into a cave of wandering wonder.

    I never knew that I could war
    this dark darling with praise
    in my almost mute carnal.

    I never knew that I could war
    this dark darling with a dance step
    and say, the shackles are broken.
