My Heart Is Free

Well, the first thing I remember is the last thing that I saw

Morning hit the barrel of a rifle going off

And the daylight wrapped around me then I heard the sergeant scream

Then all my reservations fell gently at my feet

Now my heart is free, my heart is free

And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me

I was sure there was a reason to take that side and fight

But when I saw the trembling hand that put that shot in flight

Well, I saw the hands of Jesus, saw the shores at Normandy

Saw a hundred thousand weary lost and homesick boys like me

Now my heart is free, my heart is free

And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me

Now they don?t remember my name or the girl that I made proud

And whatever drew me from her arms is nothing to me now

Now my heart is free, my heart is free

And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me

My heart is free, my heart is free

And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me
