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
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
I'm battle born
Once upon a time I had an open point of view
But 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 time and how would I have known?
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
