[Verse 1]
Oh, I've just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
Warlike soldiers so brave
Your 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
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]
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 couldn't 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 feel so alone, you see
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I feel so alone, you see

[Verse 3]
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears in her eyes she swore
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

[Chorus]
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I feel so alone, you see
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I feel so alone, you see
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I feel so alone, you see
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I feel so alone, you see
