Generate meaning
1
And for my opening line
2
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
3
I turn you on,
4
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
5
And bringing music when you hear it,
6
Keep on trying to get near it.
7
A little rhythm for your spirit
8
Oh but that's what it's for
9
Come on in, here's the door
10
And I've seen a sparrow get high
11
And waste his time in the sky
12
He thinks it's easy to fly
13
He's just a little bit freer than I
14
Now here's a mystery
15
And maybe you can help to make it clear to me
16
When you're fast asleep
17
Then what is it that's lighting up the dreams you see
18
Only your tears can't conceal it
19
And only your prayers may not reveal it
20
You've got soul so you can feel it
21
And when you make the scene
22
Well you know what I mean
23
Hey I've seen a sparrow get high
24
And waste his time in the sky
25
He thinks it's easy to fly
26
He's just a little bit freer than I
27
Down here on the ground
28
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
29
Keep your game uptight
30
And if you must just take your secrets underground
31
Now politicians are trying to speech you
32
Mad colour watchers are trying to teach you
33
Very few will really try to reach you
34
If you're lost in a stack
35
That's OK, come all black
36
Now I'd be the last to deny
37
That I'm just an average guy
38
And don't you know each little bird in the sky
39
Is just a little bit freer than I
40
Hey ordinary Joe
41
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
42
What they think is real
43
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
44
So don't let time and space confuse you
45
And don't let name and form abuse you
46
Let that Big Joe Williams blues you
47
In the light of the sun you can see how they burn
48
Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
49
And waste his time in the sky
50
He thinks it's easy to fly
51
He's just a little bit freer than I
