[Verse 1]
C F** C**
I was hoping for a quiet life with you
F** C** G
but the cause was too great, the path was too true
C F** C**
So, I packed up my bags and left what I know
F** G** C
for all of this great unknown.
[Chorus]
F C F C
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
F** G** Am F** G** C C
I will come back to you and our homeland forever.
[Verse 2]
C F** C**
Sometimes I wish that I could just turn back,
F** C** G
I miss tea by the fire and soft green grass.
C F** C**
But some deeper part inside of my soul
F** G** C
is keeping me on this road.
[Chorus]
F C F C
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
F** G** Am F** G** C C
I will come back to you and our homeland forever.

[Verse 3]
N.C.
Some nights I dream of a land far away
N.C.
with no more crying and no more decay.
C F** C**
But I wake to the sound of a long battle cry
F** G** C
and mountains still left to climb.
[Chorus]
F C F C
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
F** G** Am F** G** C
I will come back to you and our homeland forever.
[End-Chorus]
F C F C
When the fighting is done and the journey is finally over
F** G** Am F** G** C C
I will come back to you and our homeland forever,
F** G** Am F** G** C
and our homeland forever and our homeland forever.
