[00:00.00]For my openin’ line
[00:06.18]I might try to indicate my state of mind
[00:10.58]or turn you on
[00:12.63]or tell you that I’m laughin’
[00:15.53]just to keep from cryin’
[00:17.43]pretty music, when you hear it,
[00:20.53]keep on tryin’ to get near it
[00:24.03]a little rhythm for your spirit
[00:26.58]but that’s what it’s for
[00:28.43]c’mon in here’s the door
[00:30.93]I’ve seen a sparrow get high
[00:34.98]and waste his time in the sky
[00:38.28]he thinks it’s easy to fly
[00:41.73]he’s just little bit freer than I
[00:44.93]Now here’s a mystery
[00:48.33]maybe you can help to make it clear to me
[00:52.33]When you’re fast asleep
[00:55.73]and than what is that’s lightin’ up the dreams you see
[01:00.63]all your tears can’t conceal it
[01:03.93]all your prayers may not reveal it
[01:06.93]you got soul so you can feel it
[01:09.93]and when you make the scene
[01:12.43]then you’ll know what I mean
[01:14.33]I’ve seen a sparrow get high
[01:18.53]and waste his time in the sky
[01:21.83]he thinks it’s easy to fly
[01:25.23]he’s just little bit freer than I
[01:31.78]Down here on the ground
[01:35.38]when you fine folks are givin’ you the runarround
[01:39.53]keep your game up up-tight
[01:42.93]and if you must just take your secrets underground
[01:46.73]now, politicians try to speech you
[01:50.08]mad color watchers try to teach you
[01:53.68]very few will really try to reach you
[01:56.88]if you’re lost in the stack
[01:59.38]that’s ok come on black
[02:02.13]Now I'd be the last to deny
[02:06.13]that I'm just an average guy
[02:09.28]and don't you know each little bird in the sky
[02:13.68]Is just a little bit freer than I
[02:16.83]Ordinary Joe, people say you’re just a lazy so and so
[02:23.23]what they think is real
[02:26.53]is nothing but an animated puppet show
[02:29.63]So don’t let time and space confuse you
[02:33.43]don’t let name and form abuse you
[02:36.93]let Big Joe Williams blues you
[02:40.23]in the light of the sun you can see how they run
