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-A LINEN AND LACE
HOH OH OH OH
THE TEACHER WONDERS
BUT SHE DOESN'T ASK
IT'S HARD TO SEE
THE PAIN
BEHIND THE MASK
BEARIN' 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 MORNIN' 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
