Concrete Angel

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 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 When morning comes it'll be too late
REPEAT CHORUS
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
*REPEAT CHORUS
