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 an nail
Yes I would
If I could
I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
Away, it's tied up to the ground
It gives the world its saddest sound
Its 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 could
I surely would
