Concrete Angel Lyrics

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

Repeat 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 . . .

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

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 . . .
