Because he called the forest brother,
Because he called the earth his mother,
They drove him out into the rain
Some people even said
The boy from the country was insane
CHORUS:
The boy from the country left his home when he was young
The boy from the country, he loved the sun
You know he spoke to the fish in the creek
He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
And who knows, perhaps they do
How do you know they don't,
Just because they've never spoken to you?
CHORUS
The boy from the country, he loved the sun
