Once I Was

Once I was a soldier with a gun in a country far from home in the night

Once I was a cowboy on the run

Money for my life dead or alive

Show me the life that's good

Make it a life worth living

I used to take it all

But now is the time for giving

Once I was a captain lost at sea

My treasures drowning me, like a stone

Once I was a gypsy with a guitar

I never got too far, but I never tried

Show me the life that's good

Make it a life worth living

I used to take it all

But now is the time for giving

You could say I've lived everything before

But I've never been to a place like this

You could say I've lived a thousand years or more

But I've never felt quite like this
