Wounded Knee Songtext
von Trina Hamlin

When a child with a wounded knee
Cries out, "Take a look at me"
And the tears stream down her face
′Cause she fell right out of the race
Well, she said, "Can you fix it for me?"
Well, I couldn't save her pride
She asks, "Can you finish for me?"
But I knew it just wouldn′t be right

Well, I said, "I told you once, I told you twice"
I didn't really think I gave her bad advice
But now as I turn around and start to see
They didn't mean it for me, yeah


I jump back to a time I can hardly see
There I see a little girl the age of three
Her daddy′s standing on the corner giving her a sign
But he just never really seems to have the time
She says, "Can you fix it for me?"
Well, he didn′t have the time
She asks, "Will you be there for me?"
But he knew it might be a lie

Well, I said, "I told you once, I told you twice"
I didn't really think he gave me bad advice
But now as I turn around and start to see
They didn′t mean it for me, yeah

And now the girl sits with her child
She can't even let out a smile
And the tears stream down her face
′Cause she pulled herself out of the race
Well, she said, "How could this happen to me?"
I couldn't look her in the eye
She asks, "Can you take her for me?"
But I knew it just wouldn′t be right


Well, I said, "I told you once, I told you twice"
I didn't really think they gave me bad advice
But now as I turn around and start to see
They didn't mean it for me
Well, I said, "I told you once, I told you twice"
I didn′t think they gave me bad advice
But now as I turn around and start to see
They didn′t mean it, oh, they didn't mean it for me

They didn′t mean it, oh, for them
They did not, they did not
They did not mean it for me
