Wounded Knee — текст песни (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
