I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would; mmm,
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail,
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would; mmm,
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 it's saddest sound,
Its saddest sound,
I'd rather be a forest than a street,
Yes I would, if I only could; I surely would,
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would,
A man gets tied up to the ground,
He gives the world it's saddest sound,
Its saddest sound,
Writer(s): Paul Simon, Jorge Milchberg, Daniel Alomias Robles
