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 linen and lace ooh
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'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
