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
