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

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 hmm

I'd rather be a forest than a street

Yes I would

If I could

I surely would hmm

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 it's saddest sound

It's saddest sound
