[00:24.25]She walks to school with a lunch she packed
[00:30.51]Nobody knows what she's holding back;
[00:36.66]Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,
[00:41.72]She hides the bruises with the linen and lace;
[00:47.36]oh
[00:55.04]The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,
[01:00.62]It's hard to see the pain behind the mask;
[01:07.49]Bearing the burdon of a secret storm,
[01:13.34]Sometimes she wishes she was never born;
[01:18.04]Through the wind and the rain,
[01:21.10]She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
[01:30.50]But her dreams give her wings
[01:33.37]and she flies to a place where she's loved.
[01:40.41]Concrete Angel
[01:56.40]Somebody cries in the middle of the night,
[02:02.20]The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights;
[02:08.75]A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,
[02:14.80]When morning comes it will be too late.
[02:19.55]Through the wind and the rain,
[02:22.27]She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
[02:32.04]But her dreams give her wings
[02:34.56]and she flies to a place where she's loved.
[02:41.50]Concrete Angel
[02:58.46]A statue stands in a shaded place,
[03:04.36]An angel girl with an upturned face;
[03:10.43]Her name is written on a polished rock,
[03:16.27]A broken heart that the world forgot.
[03:21.27]Through the wind and the rain,
[03:24.15]She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
[03:33.34]But her dreams give her wings
[03:36.68]and she flies to a place where she's loved.
[03:43.49]Concrete Angel
