Wounded Knee lyrics

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
