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
I would, I'd rather sail, sail away
Like a swan that here ain't gone
A man gets tied up too, to the ground
He gives the world its steady sound
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
He gives the world its steady sound
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes, I would, if I could
I surely would
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
To the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would, if I only could
I surely would
I'd rather sail far away
Like a swan that here ain't gone
A man gets tied up too, to the ground
He gives the world its steady sound
Its steady sound
