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
Well, 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 receive
When I finally got my leave
I was going home
Oh, I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
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 walk 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
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
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
Well, 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
