| (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 | |
| (she wanna do?) | |
| (Yeah, yeah) | |
| You broke the chains now I can lift my hands | |
| (Uh feel me?) | |
| And I'm gonna praise you | |
| (Whatcha gonna do?) | |
| 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 bound for so long | |
| Felt like all hope is gone | |
| But as I lift my hands, I understand | |
| That I should praise you through my circumstance | |
| 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 | |
| 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 them off | |
| What'cha gonna do, yeah |
