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

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 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'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've 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
