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 apart of me I shared

Years before they took away

The part of me that cared

[Chorus]

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 rode so many more

Everyday a castaway

A vagabond battle born

A 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 a time

And how would I of known

[Chorus]

(Attention all passengers,

[Chorus x2]

A battle born [x2]

Everyday a castaway

A vagabond battle born

Battle born
