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
Because he spoke with 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, he 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 see we did not understand
Sometimes I think the boy from the country is the only one who sees
Because the boy from the country doesn't wanna see the forest for the trees
Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
Boy from the country, he loves the sun
