Once upon a time I swore I had a heart
Long before the world I know tore it all apart,
Once upon a time there was a part of me I shared
Years before they took away the part of me that cared
I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands,
I don't know where I'm going
But I know just where I've been.
I've flown a million miles
And I've rode so many more,
Every day, a castaway,
A vagabond, battle born
Battle born
Once upon a time I had an open point of view,
That was just so long ago before I had a clue.
Was there such a time where I didn't stand alone?,
Was there ever a time, and how would I have known?
I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands,
I don't know where I'm going
But I know just where I've been.
I've flown a million miles
And I've rode so many more,
Every day, a castaway,
A vagabond, battle born
Battle born
I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands,
I don't know where I'm going
But I know just where I've been.
I've flown a million miles
And I've rode so many more,
Every day, a castaway,
A vagabond, battle born
Battle born
I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands,
I don't know where I'm going
But I know just where I've been.
I've flown a million miles
And I've rode so many more,
Every day, a castaway,
A vagabond, battle born
Battle born
Battle born
Every day, a castaway
A vagabond, battle born
Battleborn
