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
