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 receive
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
Saying I was a brave, brave man but 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
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
