Wounded Knee

A child with a wounded knee

Cries out "Take a look at me"

The tears stream her face

Œcause she fell right out of the race

She asks "Can you fix it for me?"

I couldn¹t save her pride

She asks "Can you finish for me?"

But I knew it just wouldn¹t be right

I told you once, I told you twice

I didn¹t really think I gave her bad advice

But now as I turn around I start to see

They didn¹t mean it for me

I jump back to a time I can hardly see

There I see a little girl the age of three

Her daddy standing on the corner giving her a sign

But he just never really seemed to have the time

He said " I told you once, I told you twice"

I didn¹t really think he gave me bad advice

But now as I turn around I start to see

He didn¹t mean it for me

A girl sits with her child

She can¹t even let out a smile

The tears stream down her face

Œcause she pulled herself out of the race

She asks "How can this happen to me?"

I couldn¹t look her in the eye

She asks "Can you take her for me?"

But I knew it just wouldn¹t be right

I said "I told you once, I told you twice"

I didn¹t really think I gave her bad advice

But now as I turn around I finally see

They didn¹t mean it for me
