Lyrics:

I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail,Yes, I would,If I could,I surely would . . . hmmI’d rather be a hammer than a nail,Yes, I would,If I only could,I surely would . . . hmmAway, 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 it’s saddest sound,It’s saddest sound . . . hmm< instrumental break >I’d rather be a forest than a street,Yes, I would,If I could,I surely would . . . hmmI’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet,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 it’s saddest sound,It’s saddest sound . . .< instrumental break >I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet,Yes, I would,If I only could,I surely would . . .Yes I would . . .
