I see a manatee In the swim at sea And I wish I could swim In the sea like him But it is not to be I must be like this So I just blow a kiss Waved upon my hand And he will understand My not getting wet So wrinkled and grey Though daresay I can see How he now his way In our affinity Is a lot like me So manatee see Me wave from land to you Better I stay here For in the wave I fear To do as you do When from the wave too A wave comes back I see Then we two agree We get it so we give It from where we live And so the empathy Of the other for One waving from the shore Not forgotten yet Is the it that we get I am in the swim Like the swim is in him He is in the sea And the sea is in me Man and manatee +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXIV
