I d rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would Hmm-mmmmm
I d rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would Hmm-mmmmm
Away, I d rather sail away
Like a swan that s here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world it s saddest sound
It s saddest sound, Hmm-mmmmm
I d rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I d rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
