Greatest Hits Lyrics - 2001

[ Buy Greatest Hits ]

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 2)
Somebody cries in the movie that 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

(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
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask

She hides the bruises with linen and lace
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
(verse 1)
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
