Praise You

By Kourtnee BurdickPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

StaTake the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just want to praise you

I just want to 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 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 want to praise you

I just want to 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 want to 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 want to praise you

I just want to praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you

I'm gonna praise you.
