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, mmm
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
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, mmm
