(Murphy/Castleman)
Because he called the forest "Brother," because he called the
Earth his mother,

they drove him out into the rain.
Some people even said that the boy from the country was
insane.


Because he spoke to the fish in the creek. He tried to tell us
that the animals could speak.

Who knows? Perhaps they do.
How do you know they don't just because they've never spoken to
you?


Boy from the country left his home when he was young, boy from
the country, he loves the sun.


He tried to tell us that we should love the land.
We just turned our heads and laughed. You see we did not

understand.
Sometimes I think the boy from the country is the only one who
sees,

'cause the boy from the country doesn't want to see the forest
for the trees.


Boy from the country left his home when he was young, boy from
the country, he loves the sun.
