Shackles (Praise You) 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 [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

Meaning of Shackles (Praise You)

“Shackles” by Mary Mary is a powerful expression of surrender and finding freedom through faith. The song captures the intense feeling of being trapped – burdened by past struggles, overwhelming pressure, and a sense of hopelessness – symbolized by “shackles” on her feet. Yet, amidst this darkness, she recognizes that these chains have been broken by God, offering an invitation to lift her hands and praise Him through every circumstance. The repeated declaration "I just wanna praise you" signifies a shift from feeling defeated to embracing gratitude and trust in divine strength. It’s about acknowledging the trials, seeking relief, and ultimately finding liberation not through self-reliance but through unwavering faith and praise, allowing the artist to finally dance free.
