Ordinary Joe-Terry Callier

For my opening line I might try to indicate my state of mind
Or turn you on or tell you that I'm laughing
Just to keep from crying
Pretty music when you hear it keep on trying 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 just a 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
What is it that's lighting 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 hey
I've seen a sparrow get high and waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly he's a little bit freer than I
Di bengbengbeng di bengbeng di bengbengbeng di bengbeng
Down here on the ground
When you find folks are giving you the run around
Keep your game 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 o k come on black
Now I been was last than I and they arm just ever resky
Don't you know easy to fly burning resky
It's easy to fly he's 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
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
I've seen a sparrow get high and waste his time in the sky
Don't you know he thinks it's easy to fly
He's a little bit freer than I
