Concrete Angel

She walks to school with the 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 ohhh
 The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
 ♪
 It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
 Bearin' the burden of the secret storm
 Sometimes she wishes she was never born
 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
 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
