Soldier of Fortune

(Gary Sefton)



I'll follow my dreams like a soldier of fortune

I'd rather chase rainbows than stay here and grow old and never know

How high I could fly if I reach for the sky

It's my turn to try so I'll take my best hold.



I've done my time in the beer and wine mines

Tryin' to climb with my own kind of rhymes it ain't easy

I've had my doubts what they're mostly about

Whether I should reach out to the crowd to just try to please me.



Chasin' the brass ring and bendin' guitar strings

Are the things I enjoy most of all

We can just call this a mission of mercy

But the soldier of fortune should fall.



(I'll follow my dreams)

I already know it's a rough row to hoe

But I can't let go I've been almost so close a few times

My sights are all set it's my chance to get

Somethin' better than whatever it is that I'm leavin' behind.
