John Denver - Boy From The Country Lyrics

Because he calls the forest "Brother" Because he calls 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 And who knows? perhaps they do How do you know they don't just because they've never spoken to you? Chorus: 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.
