I'D RATHER BE A FOREST THAN A STREET--

I've lots to write about water quality/Serene Lakes, but it's that crazy month of June, so, two things while I think for a few days (aka vacation)-- the vrai "El Condor Pasa",  with lovely music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpJkDZ9g9z4&feature=related

and here, the lyrics from  Simon and Garfunkle's version:

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

Its 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
