MANDISA
"Freedom Song"

[Intro:]
Praise to the Lord, our chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song
Praise to the Lord, our chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom

I am a child from a broken home
Where true love was torn apart
But then I met a Heavenly Father
Who made a home inside my heart
I am a man with the chains of addiction
Dragging me down for way too long
But I came face to face with redemption
And now those chains are gone

[Pre-Chorus:]
Can anybody hear me?
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
When you've been delivered like that
You've got to shout it out

[Chorus:]
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free

I am a sixteen year old daughter
Lost in the mirror, no self esteem
But God made me in His image
And that makes me a beauty queen
I am a wife and the mother of three
Trading my dreams for a busy life
Searching for my lost identity
And I'm happy to announce that I found it in Christ

[Pre-Chorus:]
Can anybody hear me?
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
When you've been delivered like that
You've got to shout it out

[Chorus:]
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah (Shout Hallelujah)
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah (Shout Hallelujah)
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free

[Bridge:]
Praise to the Lord, my chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song
Praise to the Lord, my chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song

[Chorus:]
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free (I have been set free)
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been, I have been set free
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I have been set free
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
I have been set free
