Battle Born

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
I'm 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

A vagabond, battle born
