Spirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's nature's way of telling you in a song
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you, dying trees
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong
It's nature's way, it's nature's way
It's nature's way, it's nature's way
It's nature's way of telling you
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you
It's nature's way of telling you
In a song, oh-h
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's wrong
The lyrics of Spirit's song Nature's Way speak to the idea that nature is trying to communicate with humans about the harm being done to the environment. The repetition of "It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong" emphasizes the urgency of this message.

The second verse reinforces this message, with lines about dying trees and the impending freeze. The repetition of "It's nature's way of receiving you" and "It's nature's way of retrieving you" suggests that nature is trying to guide humans towards making better choices for the planet. The final repetition of "Something's wrong" underscores the importance of listening to this message and taking action.
Overall, Spirit's Nature's Way is a powerful call to action to protect the environment, and a reminder that the natural world is constantly communicating with us.

I saw a Spirit concert right after this song came out. When they started playing this song people were screaming the usual way but once they heard the words and how unbelievable this song was all of a sudden nobody was making any noise. It was so powerful, I will never forget it. Listening to it still makes me tear up ! !

Possibly one of the most underrated, and greatest songs ever written. The melody and lyrics are as relative today as they were forty years ago.

I totally agree. Depends on our sensibility and since how long ago we have it.

This song is not only a cry to save the planet, it's also a cry to save the music.
