  • 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 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
    I've got to go home
    I've been so alone, you see

    Do do do do do
    Do do do do do
    Do do do do do

    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 then 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 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 Writer/s: BERNARD (GB 2) SUMNER, GILLIAN LESLEY GILBERT, PETER HOOK, STEPHEN PAUL DAVID MORRIS
