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
