I will go home now, my dear
After a day of sweat and fear
After a day of fatigue and hunger
After a deafening noise of blasts and flare
I will go home and rest, my dear
I will be home soon, honey
After a day of precious journey
A journey to unfamiliar territory
For it is part of my sworn duty
To protect you and our country
I will go home now, mother
Knowing that I have done my share
In ensuring that everyone out there
Would be out from any harm or fear
I will go home but can't hug you, mother
I will go home now, my children
Not to answer your questions of when
Of when are we going to play again
Or safely stroll every now and then
I'll be home to be with you, my children
I will be home to be with you, Father
For I have nothing more to render
The end of my journey is now near
Near until I'll be by your side, Father
I'll be home to be with you, forever.
