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 are 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 receive, when i finally got my leave and i was going home, oh, i flew through the sky and my convictions could not lie, for my country i would die and i will see it soon, and i want to see my family, my wife and child are 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 laid upon the floor, and with tears her eyes did soar, i did not know why, then i looked into her hand and i saw the telegram, said that i was a brave, brave man but that i was dead, i want to see my family, my wife and child are waiting for me, got to go home, i've been so alone, you see, i want to see my family, my wife and child are waiting for me, i've got to go home, i've been so alone, you see
