There once was a note, pure and easy Playing so free, like a breath 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 on a star  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 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 when sound curdles mountains flowing and blowing each man in its wake Destroying its self in the end with vibration-- there's nothing on earth its 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  There once was a note, listen There once was a note, listen...
