Rob Crosby - Concrete Angel lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] The teacher wonders, but she doesn't ask It's hard to see the pain behind the mask Bearin' 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 [Verse 3] Somebody cries in the middle of the night The neighbours 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] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [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
