There's somethin' in the air I breathe this mornin' Caution in the wind Whisperin' warnings About the melting ice The rising tide The burning forest Smoke signal in the sky The shifting plates Under brick and steel The ground we stand on That's under the drill The natural world is talkin' The natural world got plenty to say You can hear the story But can you swallow the tale About me and you And poison in the well? About stripping the mountain To the naked truth About a fall from grace From the burden of proof About a shot in the dark A flare on the sun An ivory tower A poacher's gun About bloody tracks Stained hands A slick on the ocean A line in the sand The natural world is talkin' The natural world got plenty to say
