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 lights A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate When morning comes it'll 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

-Concrete Angel; Martina McBride
