Battle Born

[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 a part of me I shared Years before they took away the part of me that cared [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] I'm 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 have known? [Chorus] 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 [Spoken Interlude] Attention, all passengers: Flight 555 now departing from Las Vegas to London Please have your passports and boarding passes ready [Solo] [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'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 [Outro] I'm battle born I'm battle born Every day, a castaway, a vagabond Battle born Battle born
