village

Paul Weller

Here I am, ten stories high
Not a single cloud in my eye
Not a thing I'd change if I could
I'm happy here in my neighborhood

And all the things I've never been, I've
Never seen, I don't care much
And all the things I've never done, I've
Never won, I don't care much

I never knew what a world this was
'Til I looked in my heart
And saw myself for what I am
Found a whole world in my hands

And all the things I'm supposed to be
And all the things that you want from me
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why, I don't know why

I don't need all the things you got
I just wanna be who I want
I don't need all the things you hold
In high regard, they mean nothing at all

And all the things I've never been, I've
Never seen, I don't care much
And all the things I've never done, I've
Never won, I don't care much

This village is where I'm from
It's one place that I call home
You wanna show me another side
But I've got heaven in my sights

I never knew what a world this was
'Til I looked in my heart
And saw myself for what I am
Found a whole world in my hands

And all the things I've never been, I've
Never seen, I don't care much
And all the things I've never done, I've
Never won, I don't
