El Condor Paza Lyrics

I´d rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would.
If I could, I surely would
(I surely would) hmm, hmm.
I´d rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would.
If I could, I surely would
(I surely would) hmm, hmm.

Away, I´d rather sail, sail away
Like a swan that´s here and gone.
A man gets tied up to -- to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound, hmm, hmm.
I´d rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would.
If I could, I surely would
(I surely would) hmm, hmm.
I´d rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would.
If I only could, I surely would
(I surely would) hmm, hmm.

Away. I´d rather sail far away
Like a swan that´s here and gone.
A man gets tied up to -- to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound, hmm hmm, hmm hmmmmm.
