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,
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
(Chorus)
Through
the
wind
and
the
rain
She
stands
hard
as
a
stone
In
a
world
that
she
can
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
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
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
rise
above
But
her
dreams
give
her
wings
And
she
flies
to
a
place
Where
she's
loved
Concrete
Angel
