For my openin' line

I might try to

indicate

my state of mind

or turn you on

Or tell you

that I'm laughin'

just to keep

from cryin'

Pretty music

when you hear it

keep on tryin'

to get near it

A little rhythm

for your spirit

but that's what it's for

come on in

here's the door

And I've seen

a sparrow get high

and waste his time

in the sky

And he thinks

it's easy to fly

he's just a little bit

freer than I

now here's a mystery

And maybe you can

help to make it

clear to me

when you're

fast asleep

And what is it that's

lightin' up the dreams

you see

All your tears

they can't conceal it

and all your prayers

may not reveal it

You got soul

so you can feel it

And when you

make the scene

then you'll know

what I mean I've seen

a sparrow get high

And waste his time

in the sky

he thinks

it's easy to fly

He's just a little bit

freer than I...

do dum bee do bo bo

bo bo bum bee bo bee

Dee do do bo boo dum

dee do dee du dee baa

Down here

on the ground

When you find folks

are givin' you

the run around

keep your game

up-tight

And if you must just

take your secrets

underground

The politicians

try to speech you

mad colour watchers

try to teach you

Very few will really

try to reach you

If you're lost

in the stack

that's okay

come on back

Now I've been

the last of the night

and I'm just

an average guy

And don't you know

each little bird

in the sky

is just a little bit freer

than I...Ordinary Joe

Although they say

you're just a lazy

so and so

what they think is real

Is nothing but an

animated puppet show

so don't let time

and space confuse you

And don't let name

and form abuse you

well let big Joe Williams

blues you

In the light of the sun

you can see

how they run

oh I've seen a sparrow

get high

And waste his time

in the sky

and don't you know

he thinks it's easy to fly

He's just a little bit

freer than I...
