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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/paul+simon/el+condor+pasa_20105973.html ]
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the cross
He gives the world its saddest sun
Its saddest sun

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
