Pure and Easy

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 assembled, 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 teacup

Watch all the chords of life lose their joy

Distortion become 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 that 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

Playin' so free like a breath rippling by

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note, listen

There once was a note, listen, there once was a note
