I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail.
If I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
If 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.

I'd rather be a forest than a street.
If I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
If I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.

A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound.
