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 recieve

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

That said that I was a brave, brave man

But that 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
