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 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
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
