Martina McBride-Concrete Angel lyrics

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, 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

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 will 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 concrete angel
