- Concrete Angel LyricsShe walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the 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 light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it will 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

When we look deeper into its meaning, Concrete Angel, a hit song by Martina McBride expressing difficult feelings, narrates the life of a little one who gets inflicted with physical and psychological, abuse, therefore invisibly suffering. The poor kid sports bruises and the likes of which are hidden and is smiles and pretending otherwise. Nevertheless, the suffering is accompanied by dreams of escape, and it is this contrast which the artist beautifully portrays through the illustration of wings that take the child to the place of love, and, thus, a harsh reality and a hopeful inner world are juxtaposed.
