Martina Mcbride - Concrete Angels LYRICS

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



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'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'll be too late



REPEAT CHORUS



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



REPEAT CHORUS
