	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
	c’mon in here’s the door
	I’ve seen a sparrow get high
	and waste his time in the sky
	he thinks it’s easy to fly
	he’s just little bit freer than I
	Now here’s a mystery
	maybe you can help to make it clear to me
	When you’re fast asleep
	and than what is that’s lightin’ up the dreams you see
	all your tears can’t conceal it
	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 little bit freer than I
	Down here on the ground
	when you fine folks are givin’ you the runarround
	keep your game up up-tight
	and if you must just take your secrets underground
	now, politicians try to speech you
	mad color watchers try to teach you
	very few will really try to reach you
	if you’re lost in the stack
	that’s ok come on black
	Now I'd be the last to deny
	that 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, people 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
	don’t let name and form abuse you
	let Big Joe Williams blues you
	in the light of the sun you can see how they run
