My Heart Is Free Lyrics

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
