She walks to school with the 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 burden 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 light
|
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
|
A 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... concrete angel
|
