She walks to school with a lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen & lace, oh
The teacher wonders, but she doesn't ask.
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of the secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind & the rain, she stands hard as a stone
In a world where she can't rise above
But her dreams, give her wings, & she flies to a place
Where she's lived
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 pf fate
When morning comes, it'll be too late

Through the wind & the rain, She stands hard as a stone
In a world where she can't rise above
But her dreams, give her wings, & 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 & the rain, she stands hard as a stone
In aworld where she can't rise above
But her dreams, give her wings, & she flies to a place
Where she's loved
Concrete Angel
