There once was a note, pure and easy Playin' so free like a breath rippling by The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me Forever we blend this, forever we die I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star As people assemble Civilization is trying to find a new way to die But killing is really merely scene changer All men are bored with other men's lives I listened and I heard music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding on a star We all know success when we all find our own dream And our love is enough to knock down any walls And the future's been seen as men try to realize The simple secret of the note in us all, in us all Listened and I heard music in a word Words when you played your guitar The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star Today is the day, the sound curdles mountains Flowing, blowing each man in its wake Destroying itself in the end with vibration There's nothing on earth, it's challenge can take Excepting one note Excepting one note, pure and easy Playing so free like a breath rippling by Excepting one note, excepting one note Listen, once was a note, listen (Pure and easy) Once was a note, listen (Pure and easy) Once was a note, listen (Pure and easy) Once was a note, listen (Pure and easy) Once was a note, listen (Pure and easy) Once was a note, listen (Pure and easy) Once was a note, listen (Pure and easy) Once was a note, listen (Pure and easy)
