Lyrics
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
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
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
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
