"Mary, Mary, Shackles" 是由Billy Ray Cyrus演唱的一首歌曲,收錄於1993年的專輯《Some Gave All》中。
歌詞內容大致如下:
Mary, Mary, shackles and chains
Mary, Mary, the devil's child
You can't hold me down
No, you can't hold me down
'Cause I'm gonna rise up
And break these shackles
Chorus:
And I ain't afraid of no man
And I ain't scared of no world
And I ain't never gonna be
A prisoner to no one
Gonna break these shackles
And make a new start
Mary, Mary, keep your head up high
Mary, Mary, your time will come
Through all the pain and all the trials
You've been through
You've been strong and you've been true
So you'll rise up and break these shackles
Chorus:
And I ain't afraid of no man
And I ain't scared of no world
And I ain't never gonna be
A prisoner to no one
Gonna break these shackles
And make a new start
Verse 3:
You've been hurt, you've been scorned
But you can't let it bring you down
For every mountain that you climb
You'll be stronger when you reach the top
And when you break these shackles
You'll be free at last
Chorus:
And I ain't afraid of no man
And I ain't scared of no world
And I ain't never gonna be
A prisoner to no one
Gonna break these shackles
And make a new start (x2)
