~~CONCRETE ANGEL~~ 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 a 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 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 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 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 i dont listen to country at all really, but this song when i heard it made me cry....its sad how some children get treated....
