El Condor Pasa lyrics

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.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/paul_simon/el_condor_pasa.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
