I'D RATHER BE A SPARROW THAN A SNAIL

YES I WOULD. IF I COULD, I SURELY WOULD HMMMM...

I'D RATHER BE A HAMMER THAN A NAIL

YES I WOULD. IF I ONLY COULD, I SURELY WOULD HMMMM...

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would,
If I could
I surely would
Hmm...

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied down 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
