Testo di 'Wounded Knee' di Trina Hamlin

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
