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 only could, I surely would
(oh really), 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) its (saddest) (song)
It's (saddest) (song)
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
