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 GodI want to see my family
My wife and child are waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you seeYou 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 and my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die and I will see it soonAnd I want to see my family
My wife and child are waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you seeWhen I walked through the door my wife she laid upon the floor
And with tears her eyes did soar, I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
Said that I was a brave, brave man but that I was deadI want to see my family
My wife and child are waiting for me
Got to go home
I've been so alone, you seeI want to see my family
My wife and child are waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
