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 the 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
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 light
a fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
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
