Song lyrics
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, oh

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

Thank you Martina for bringing this subject to life. I lived this - the abuse, the wanting to die, but I'm still here. This really speaks out about those children that are subjected to this every day. Goddess Bless them please, show them the way and protect them with your loving arms.

This song makes me cry every single time I hear it. Whenever I see the video, I have to wonder why no one who saw what was happening would neglect to say anything? I mean, I'd be scared to death, but come on... Maternal instinct ought to move you enough to get that poor child out of there.
That's what I don't understand about abuse...

But I love that little angel boy. When he hugs her, I have to smile and cry at the same time. Love it.

This song is very sad, and the worse part is its true, and well its very disturbing to think that things like this go on is this world and Martina McBride is a wonderful person to make a song abot this showing that she cares andd how horrible this action it, she's liike a hero. She has a gorgeous voiice and i think she is the best to sing this. Thisa song that comes from the heart and well kidds should not have to go throught this, you have one liife and why do this to a helpless child. Gorgeus song x 100000000000000.

When I heard the song, I was close to tears. When I watched the video, I cried.
And now, reading the posts here, I can feel the tears coming again.

Oh my god, I didn't realise how many people were affected by this sort of abuse. It's awful.

This song has made realise that whatever crap I'm going through at the moment, I'm so lucky to have what I've got.
To all those who are or have been abused, I'm saying to you: You are the bravest people in the world.

Well done Martina McBride!

i saw this song used for a dance
it was 3 girls of different ages
and the one in the middle is left out alone
and the dance told such a great story
almost the entire audience was crying
then i found out that one of the girls, the middle one, was beaten when she was younger
its so depressing to think that someone could hurt a little kid.
its such a gorgeous song...

And I STILL love it. I watched the video, and oh my gosh...HOW SAD! *bawls*

This song just kills me....And to think, this happens almost every day to some poor, unfortunate kid, that doesn't deserve that kind of death...*grabs Kleenex box* *blows nose* I'm listening to it right now...Though I've never cried, when I'm listening to this song...I feel like I COULD cry sometimes...

* offtopic :
I feel sympathy to any and all who have been abused. It's just NOT RIGHT!

"But her dreams
Give her wings..
And she flies to a place
Where she's loved..
Concrete angel..."
