Intro

 There once was a note, pure and easy

 Playing so free like a breath, rippling by

[or /]

The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me,

Forever we blend as, forever we die

Chorus

 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

[repeat chorus]

Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup

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

Solo

Chorus

[verse from demo]

[Today is the day when sound curdles mountains

Flowing and blowing each man it its wake

Destroying itself in the end with vibration

There's nothing on earth its challenge can take

Excepting one note]
