I`d rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely
would
I`d rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I
surely would
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 its saddest
sound
Its saddest sound
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
