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 and my convictions could not lie

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



And 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 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 dead



I want to see my family

My wife and child are waiting for me

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
