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.
Chorus
Away, i'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man grows older every day
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.
Chorus
