about

Ethan Allen was an American farmer, who became a revolutionary guerrilla fighter. He led The Green Mountain Boys in the American Revolutionary War against the British, and remains a heroic figure in American minds and history books. After the United States had gained freedom and independence he settled down to life as a political activist and writer.
(I have changed a few words in Bob Amos’ song, to give it wider reference.)

lyrics

I was born upon a hillside
Where the pines sing in the wind
Where my Daddy lived before me
And my Grandpa before him.
We believe in simple living
It's the only life we know
All we need here is our freedom
And a place to call our home.
In the land of Ethan Allen
Where the purple heather grows
Where the wild grass fills the meadows
And the rocky rivers flow
By the hills that I call home
I have travelled across the country
And there is much that I have learned
But I find no peace inside me
Till the day that I return
There are two things you can count on
In this troubled world we face
Every season has an ending
Every person has a place.
Chorus.
