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 are 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 are 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 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 dead


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 see


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 see
