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
blended 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
