She walks to school
with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what

she`s holdin` back
Wearin` the same dress
she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises

with linen and lace whoa
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 lights
A fragile soul caught
in the hands of fate
When morning comes

it`ll 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
