Concrete Angel

She walks to school with a lunch she packed

Nobody knows what she's holding back;

Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,

She hides the bruises with the linen and lace;

oh

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,

It's hard to see the pain behind the mask;

Bearing the burdon of a secret storm,

Sometimes she wishes she was never born;

Through the wind and the rain,

She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;

But her dreams give her wings

and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night,

The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights;

A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,

When morning comes it will be too late.

Through the wind and the rain,

She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;

But her dreams give her wings

and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

A statue stands in a shaded place,

An angel girl with an upturned face;

Her name is written on a polished rock,

A broken heart that the world forgot.

Through the wind and the rain,

She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;

But her dreams give her wings

and she flies to a place where she's loved.
