Concrete Angel Lyrics - Greatest Hits - Martina Mcbride

She walks to school with the 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 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 light 

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 

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
