Concrete Angel - Martina McBride
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, ooh
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
* 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
( * )
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
( * )
