[00:55.20] And for my opening line
[00:58.52] I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
[01:03.52] I turn you on,
[01:06.25] I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
[01:11.10] And bringing music when you hear it,
[01:15.45] Keep on trying to get near it.
[01:19.48] A little rhythm for your spirit
[01:23.47] Oh but that's what it's for
[01:25.87] Come on in, here's the door
[01:28.22] And I've seen a sparrow get high
[01:31.51] Wasting time in the sky
[01:35.81] He thinks it's easy to fly
[01:39.58] He's just a little bit freer than I
[02:30.70] Down here on the ground
[02:33.98] When you find folks are giving you the runaround
[02:38.78] Get your game uptight
[02:41.80] And if you must just take your secrets underground
[02:46.61] Politicians are trying to speech you
[02:50.98] Mad colour watchers are trying to teach you
[02:54.66] Very few will really try to reach you
[02:59.17] If you're lost in a stack
[03:01.29] That's OK, come on back
[03:03.80] Now I'd be the last to deny
[03:07.58] That I'm just an average guy
[03:11.36] Each little bird in the sky
[03:15.24] Is just a little bit freer than I
[03:18.64] Say, ordinary Joe
[03:21.94] Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
[03:26.34] What they think is real
[03:28.74] Is nothing but an animated puppet show
[03:34.28] So don't let time and space confuse you
[03:38.82] And don't let name and form abuse you
[03:42.65] Well let Big Joe Williams blues you
[03:46.58] In the light of the sun you can see how they run
[03:51.07] Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
[03:55.01] Wasting time in the sky
[03:59.03] He thinks it's easy to fly
[04:03.02] He's just a little bit freer than I
