. . . 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 the linen and lace ooh
The teacher wonders

but she doesn't ask

It's hard to see the pain

behind the mask
Bearin' 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
. . . Somebody cries in
the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they

turn out their light
A fragile soul caught in

the hands of fate
When mornin' 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
. . . A statue stands

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
