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
