For my openin' line
為了我的開場白
I might try to indicate my state of mind

Or turn you on
或許會讓你跟著靈魂搖擺
Or tell you that I'm laughin'

Just to keep from cryin'

Keep on tryin' to get near it

A little rhythm for your spirit

But that's what it's for
這就是它存在的意義
C'mon in here's the door

I've seen a sparrow get high
我看見連麻雀都歡快了起來
And waste his time in the sky

He's just little bit freer than I

Maybe you can help to make it clear to me

When you're fast asleep

All your prayers may not reveal it
禱告也無法為你揭示謎底
You got soul so you can feel it
只有靈魂才能讓你親切感受
And when you make the scene
當你身處其境的時候
Then you'll know what I mean
