Hear the whistling song carry the hills rolling along I would whistle the chant, I would if I could but I can't And the wind is taking the song up through the trees singing it wrong It would whistle the chant, it would if it could but it can't
Everybody's singing their own song Everybody's got their own plan Some it seems are marching on time wrong They're only hearing some other drum So you see, life's just a card You play it right or you play it hard It's a personal slant I would if I could but I can't
I would if I could but I can't I would if I could but I can't
