Concrete Angel-my prayer song

This song really touches my heart. It's about a girl who has a bad family life and is abused. As I listen to it I pray over everyone in this situation and thank the Lord for a loving family. It's changed my outlook on family- and I realize that I take mine for granted. ( I didn't write this one) Though I wish everyone in this situation knows the Lord-please pray for them!

1st verse
She 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 linen and lace
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

Chorus
Through the wind and rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flys to a place where she's loved
Concrete Angel

2nd verse
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'll be to late

Chorus


Bridge
A stature 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

That is a sad but beautiful song.... Who wrote it?

Thanks for sharing that song Kaitelan.

I know a song that goes kinda like that one, its called "The Little Girl," I think its by Montegomery Gentry, but I can't remember.
Its sad, but really sweet in the end. Has anyone else heard it?

Wow. That is a really sad song...

I haven't heard about that song Anna...but I'll look into it.

that's a really sad but great song! thanks Kaitlan!!

No Anna, never heard it.

Me neither Anna, but Concrete Angel is sung by Martina McBride, I don't know if she actually wrote it or not...
