Sure does seem a long time since that woman spoke to me
When she took my hand and walked
Running over styles, fallen houses, endless trees
Then she sat me down and talked
Saying "I don't have the answers and I don't have the knowledge
In this town my life's been spent.
Vision was a gateway for those who had the courage
And for those who only rent"

You can be content in all you want to know
You're the only one who knows which way to go

Then within a whisper we were standing on the hillside
Looking down on Pentwyn
Blackened mountains, stark and grey against the skyline,
Rows of houses tucked within.
She said "this once was the lifeblood of a forgotten generation,
Times were good but they were hard.
Look across the valley, you will see no devastation,
Nature's healed, concealed the scars".

You can be content in all you want to know
You're the only one who knows which way to go

As we turned and left, I could see whe wanted nothing
Of the restlessness I feel.
She said "this has been my past and this will be my future,
I've got all I need right here".

You can be content in all you want to know
You're the only one who knows which way to go
You can be content in all you need to feel
But you're the only one who can make it real"
