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]
