SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
I HAVE TRAVELLED THE WORLD FOR ALL OF MY LIFE
I'VE NEVER BEEN STILL FOR TOO LONG.
THERE ARE THOSE WHO WOULD SAY THAT I'VE SPREAD MYSELF THIN
BUT I KNOW THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE.
THERE IS NEVER A TRACE THAT COULD MARK WHERE I'VE BEEN
FOR I NEVER TAKE WITH ME THINGS THAT RESTRICT ME
FROM THE PURPOSE THATS DRIVING ME ON.
NO RELICS NO PHOTOS NO MOMENTS IN PRINT
NO FROZEN IN TIME THINGS NO NEED TO BE SAD
FOR I KNOW THAT THEY HINDER MY CAUSE
I TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH THE BAREST ESSENTIALS
I GO WITH MY HEART MY SOUL AND MY INSTINCTS
MY PASSION FOR PEOPLE AND OH YES MY RIG
FOR I SEEK NOT MONEY NOR POWER OR FAME
THEY HAVE NEVER INSPIRED MY PURPOSE
FOR I'VE SEEN HOW THEY WHITHER AND FADE BY THE WAY
WHEN COMPARED WITH THE TREASURES I FAVOUR
LOOK INTO MY EYES YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN
CAN YOU SEE THAT I'M RICH BEYOND MEASURE
I'M A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE TRAINED FROM MY BIRTH
TO SEARCH FOR THE ONLY REAL TREASURE
YES I HOLD IN MY HEART SUCH INCREDIBLE PEOPLE
RARE GEMS FOUND IN HUE PITS OF GRAVEL
A COLLECTION OF MAGICAL SOULS I HAVE GATHERED
THE RESULT OF A LIFETIME OF TRAVEL
EACH ONE HAS INSPIRED MY LIFE IN SOME WAY
THEY ARE ALL VERY SPECIAL EACH ONE QUITE UNIQUE
THEY WILL LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVER
SO I NEVER GET LONELY ITS HARD TO FEEL SAD
WHEN THERES ALWAYS A PARTY GOING ON IN MY LAND
THE GREAT GATSBY
