Paul Simon
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 only could,
I surely would.
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 its saddest sound,
It’s 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 only could,
I surely would.
