A child with a wounded knee Cries out "Take a look at me" The tears stream her face 'Cause she fell right out of the race She asks "Can you fix it for me?" I couldn't save her pride She asks "Can you finish for me?" But I knew it just wouldn't be right I told you once, I told you twice I didn't really think I gave her bad advice But now as I turn around I start to see They didn't 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 didn't mean it for me A girl sits with her child She can't even let out a smile The tears stream down her face 'Cause she pulled herself out of the race She asks "How can 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 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 I finally see They didn't mean it for me
