[Verse 1]
Well 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
Our freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Well you just cannot believe
The joy I did received
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Well I flew onto the sky
You know my convictions would not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
But when I come through the door
My wife she laid flat out upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Until I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
[Chorus]
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
