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
