Ordinary Joe - Jasmine Kara

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 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 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 a little bit freer than I.

Down here on the ground,

when you find folks are givin' you the run-around

Keep your game up-tight- and if you must just take your secrets underground

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 okey, come on back.

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,

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
