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 
 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
