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 branch


It gives the world it's saddest sound


It's 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
