Lyrics

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 And 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 lies I listened and I heard Music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star Gas on the hillside Oil in the teacup Watch all the chords of life lose their joy Distortion becomes somehow Pure in its wildness The note that began all Can also destroy We all know success When we all find our own dreams 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 I listened and I heard Music in a word And words when you played your guitar The noise I was hearing was a million people cheering And a child flew past me riding in a star There once was a note Pure and easy Playing so free, like a breath rippling by There once was a note Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen
