She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She has the bruises of 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 the 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 dream give her wings and she flies to the 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 dream give her wings and she flies to the place where she's loved
Concrete Angel
