Lyrics: I Wanna Go Home! (GI's Lament, 2007)

I Wanna Go Home, having done a good job
Lifting up downtrodden, though the work is rotten
Yet the light's in their eyes-

I Wanna Go Home, tell the whole nation that I did what's right
Shared my best, little pay, little rest
Shining out Liberty's light.

America has enemies, without and within,
Who want us all to feel shame,
For having the courage to do what's right,
They want to kill us in God's name!
I won't go home, 'til I've done a good job, look my son in the eye
Hold my daughter 'til they know my heart is true.

Wanna see my wife, hold her in my arms
Bury my face in her soft shoulder, hold her while I cry
For I've seen our enemies hide without honor or shame
Behind women and children, then kill them in God's name!

I've seen my brothers-in-arms holding back their ire
Until civilians were out of the line of fire!

I'm coming home to my City of Light,
Standing tall, on The Mountain, history recountin'
I've done my duty right!

I'm coming home!
