Oh, I've just come from the land of the sun

From a war that must be won in the name of truth

With our soldiers so brave, your freedom we will save

With our rifles and grenades and some help from God

I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me

I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see



You just can't believe the joy I did recieve

When I finally got my leave and I was going home

Oh, I flew through the sky, my convictions could not lie

For my country I would die and I will see it soon

I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me

I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see



When I walked through the door, my wife she lay upon the floor

And with tears her eyes were sore, I did not know why

Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram

That said that I was a brave, brave men but that I was dead

I want to see my family, my wife and child waiting for me

I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see
