Echo in the distance

I guess I will always be
The soldier of fortune

Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And all the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I will always be
The soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I will always be
The soldier of fortune
I guess I will always be
The soldier of
Fortune
