|
There once was a note pure and easy |
|
Playing so free like a breathe rippling by |
|
The note is eternal |
|
I hear it, it sees me |
|
Forever we blend as 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 in a star |
|
Gas on the hillside |
|
Oil in the tea cup |
|
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 dream |
|
And our love is enough to knock down any wall |
|
And the future's been seen as men try to realize |
|
The simple secret of the note in us all |
|
In us all |
|
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 |
|
Today is the day the sound curdles mountains |
|
Flowing and 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 breath rippling by |
|
Excepting one note |
|
Excepting one note |
|
Excepting one note, pure and easy |
|
Excepting one note, pure and easy |
|
(repeated) |
|
There once was a note listen |
|
There once was a note listen |
|
There once was a note listen |
|
There once was a note listen |
