She walks to school with a 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 burdon 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 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; 
Her 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.
