She walks to school with the lunch she packed nobody knows what

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 linen and lace

the teacher wonders but doesnt ask
its 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
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 nite
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

chorus

a statue stands in a shaded place
an angel girl with an upturned face
a name is writin on a polished rock
a broken heart that the world forgot

chorus
