[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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]

[Spoken]
(Attention all passengers

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
A battle born [x2]
Everyday a castaway
A vagabond battle born
Battle born
