I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail. Yes I would. If I could,I surely would.I'd rather be a hammar 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 ground. He gives the world. 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.
