She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's 1 back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace

Oh 2

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the 3 behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never 4

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't 5 above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place
Where she's 6
Concrete Angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors 7 but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When 8 comes it will be too late

Through the wind and the rain
She stands 9 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 had 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
