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
