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 goin'

But I know just where I've been

I've flown a million miles

And I've rode so many more

Everyday 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

I've been a thousand places

And shook a million hands

I don't know where I'm goin'

But I know just where I've been

I've flown a million miles

And I've rode so many more

Everyday a castaway, a vagabond, battle born
