Concrete Angel

Lyricist: Martina Mcbride     Composer: 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
(oh 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

Chorus:
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
