  • 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
    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?

    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

    Attention all passengers, flight 555 now departing to Las Vegas to London
    Please have your passports and boarding passes ready

    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

    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
