Oh the first thing that I remember is the last thing that I saw
Morning hit the barrel of a rifle going off
The 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
I saw the hands of Jesus, saw the shores of Normandy
Saw a hundred thousand weary and lost homesick boys like me
My heart is free, my heart is free
And all the thing that hold a man no longer carry me
Now they don't remember my name or the girl that I made cry
And whatever drew me from her arms is nothing to me
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
