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 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
[Guitar break]
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
The day is the day, the sound covers mountains
Blowing, blowing each man into wake
Destroying its self in the end with vibrations
There's nothing on earth it's challenge can take
Excepting one note
Excepting one note, pure and easy
Playing so free, like a breathe rippling by
Excepting one note, excepting one note
There once was a note,...listen
There once was a note,...listen
[Fade]
