Analysis of Shackles (praise you)
Take the shackles off
feet so i can dance i
just wanna praise
broke the chains now
i can lift my hands and I'm
gonna praise ya,I'm
gonna praise you.
In the corner of my
mind i just can't
seem to find a reason
to believe that i can
break free from sins.
Hope is gone but as
lift my hands i understand
that i should praise
you through my circumstance.
