Pure and Easy

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-changing

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

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

Listen

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)

There once was a note - listen (pure and easy)
