take the braces off
your legs
come
sister, take the braces off your legs
tear the rags off your skin, sister, tear the rags off your skin
take them off and dance
take the shackles
off your hands
come sister, take the shackles off your hands
tear the black glasses off your eyes, sister, tear the black glasses off your eyes
take them off and sing
take the irons off
your feet
come sister, take the irons off your feet
tear the noose off from your neck, sister, tear the noose off from your neck
take them off and dance and sing
dance, sister,
dance, be the wind
sing, sister, sing, be the moon and sun
let those chains and shackles be the instruments
that celebrate your freedom
dance, sister,
dance, sing, dance
let me stand by and
see you
dance, sister, dance, sing, dance
let me see you celebrate your freedom
