Boy from the Country
Michael Martin Murphey
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, he loves the sun
He tried to tell us that we should love the land
