el condor pasa (if i could)

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. away, i'd rather sail away, like a swan that's here and gone. 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.
