This song was recorded live by Jim Kunkel at a studio in Suffern, NY. Lyrics Manatee, by E.C. Lorick (copyright 2000) Here's to the peaceful Manatee Where ever she may roam Used to be that she was free And the waterways would always lead her home Traveling along the coast For a hundred miles or more Doing what she loves the most Like all those ghosts Who came this way before Now they lead her home But where does she belong? The wind is at her back Just listen to its song Remember how it used to be Before the others came? It's like a river to the sea Inevitably the river will have changed Gone and never more to be What it had been before So, we must go on faithfully And gracefully We'll open up the door To new life here on earth Life is what it's worth For all things can be killed But they can live again Peace for you is peace for me Manatee, oh Manatee Manatee, Manatee, Humanity Little baby manatee One day to her he's born They must find a place to be Where Little One can grow up safe and warm Traveling for miles Through cold, cold water they come at last To a place where others of their kind are gathered Just like in the past You call out to them You are with your friends The sunlight bathes your face And you are home again. Peace for you is peace for me Little baby Manatee Peace for you is peace for me Little baby Manatee Peace for you is peace for me Manatee, oh Manatee Manatee, Humanity, Humanity!
