You're all lost in your mind-numbed altruistic pursuits. You think you're 'saving the planet' with your hope and change, your class warfare, your OCCUPY THIS and OCCUPY THAT. "There once was a NOTE - listen!!" That "child flew past me riding in a star." IS Townshend himself. 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. Townshend's talking about the simplest of all 'SECRETS' THE SIMPLEST SECRET OF ALL HUMAN ENDEAVORS. He's trying to tell you that in each of us, there exists a strength. A pure and easy way to live - follow your strength, follow your passion - What you do best and what you love to do!!! Immerse yourself in that thing you do best - own it, excel at it... 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. Pete is describing his 'NOTE' - his passion for music, how he became the child flying past riding in a star. 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 play so free like a breath rippling by. 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, There once was a NOTE - Listen!! There once was a NOTE - Listen!! Wake up people, before you're no longer free to LISTEN. |
