John Denver - Boy from the Country

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 can speak

Who knows, perhaps they do, I know 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, yes, he does

And he tried to tell us, 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 wanna 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
