She walks to school with the lunch She packed
Nobody knows what she&9s Holdin&9 back
Wearin&9 the same dress She wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen And lace
(oh oh)
The teacher wonders but she Doesn&9t ask
It&9s 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&9t rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She&9s 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&9ll be too late
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can&9t rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She&9s 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&9t rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She&9s loved
Concrete angel
