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
( * )
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 men but that I was dead
