I'd rather be a sparrow than a
snail, Yes I would, if I could, I surely
would, mmm
I'd rather be a hammer than a
nail Yes I would, if I only could, I surely
would, mmm
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, mmm
I'd rather be a forest than a
street Yes I would, if I could, I surely
would, mmm
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my
feet Yes I would, if I only could, I surely
would, mmm
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, mmm
