My Heart Is Free Lyrics - Singles - Merritt Tift

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

Morning hit the barrel of a rifle going off. 

Then 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 hands that put that shot in flight, 

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. 

The courage asked of my heart has traveled far beyond those lines. 

Seems its always for a few men that so many of us die. 

You dont 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.
