[Verse 1]
I was hoping for a quiet life with you
but the cause was too great, the path was too true
So, I packed up my bags and left what I know
for all of this great unknown.
 
[Chorus]
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
I will come back to you and our homeland forever.
 
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wish that I could just turn back,
I miss   tea by the fire and soft green grass.
But some deeper part inside of my soul
is keeping me on this road.
 
[Chorus]
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
I will come back to you and our homeland forever.
 
 
[Verse 3]
Some nights I dream of a land far away
with no more crying and no more decay.
But I wake to the sound of a long battle cry
and mountains still left to climb.
 
[Chorus]
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
I will come back to you and our homeland forever.
 
[End-Chorus]
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
I will come back to you and our homeland forever,
and our homeland forever and our homeland forever.
