[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.
