I'd rather be a hammer than a nail,

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,
It's saddest sound . . . hmm

I surely would . . . hmm
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes, i would,
If i only could,
I surely would . . .
