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 could,I surely would.CHORUSAway, I'd rather sail awayLike a swan that's here and goneA man GETS TIED UP TO THE GROUND HE gives the worldIts 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 could,I surely would.CHORUS
