Battle Born - 2025 VERSION

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

Attention all passengers, flight 555 now departing to Las Vegas to London

Please have your passports and boarding passes ready

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

Been a thousand places

And shook a million hands (battle born)

I don't know where I'm going

But I know just where I've been (battle born)

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

I'm battle born

Every day, a castaway

A vagabond, battle born

Battle born
