I'd rather be a sparrow than a snailYes, I wouldIf I couldI surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nailYes, I wouldIf I only couldI surely would

I'd rather be a forest than a streetYes, I wouldIf I couldI surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feetYes, I wouldIf I only couldI surely would
