"I Was Finally Free"

©1996 Shawn Kendrick Hall

i thought i was free when i finally left there the first time
alone with another but without any time
i worked and i learned but i missed all i'd loved
so far from home i'd thought i was free like a dove
with my last dollar spent i swallowed my pride
turned back to galt with none by my side
my dreams crushed in the making depressed and alone
i signed my soul healing and gave all my own
new love but too late she's too young to take away
2 months of training to further distance and dismay
corps school there after 14 weeks more gone
and field med 2 more months in hell so far gone
every time closer but time takes its toll
from great lakes to san diego to camp pen in a hole
and finally i get a place that i can call home
and finally come together but no longer may roam
tied to my station i love her she loves me
and really that all that matters if you want to be free
