[00:15.40]
[00:15.60]Well, the first thing I remember is the last thing that I saw,
[00:23.37]Morning hit the barrel of a rifle going off.
[00:31.91]Then the daylight wrapped around me,
[00:35.65]Then I heard the sergeant scream,
[00:39.65]Then all my reservations fell gently at my feet.
[00:47.35]
[00:48.09]Now my heart is free.
[00:52.01]My heart is free, 
[00:56.13]and all the things that hold a man no longer carry me.
[01:03.39]
[01:08.92]I was sure there was a reason to take that side and fight,
[01:17.04]But when I saw the trembling hands that put that shot in flight,
[01:25.62]I saw the hands of Jesus, saw the shores at Normandy,
[01:32.94]Saw a hundred thousand weary lost and homesick boys like me.
[01:39.86]
[01:41.80]Now my heart is free.
[01:45.67]My heart is free, 
[01:49.79]and all the things that hold a man no longer carry me.
[01:57.24]
The courage asked of my heart has traveled far beyond those lines.
Seems it’s always for a few men that so many of us die.
[02:22.76]You don’t remember my name or the girl that I made proud,
[02:30.20]And whatever drew me from her arms is nothing to me now.
[03:14.14][02:37.49]
[02:39.21]Now my heart is free.
[02:59.46][02:55.69][02:42.83]My heart is free
[03:03.71][02:47.00]and all the things that hold a man no longer carry me
