OH, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Because almost EVERY search that is done on my blog is for the lyrics to this song, I’m going to appease the masses and post them here. Let this be known though:

This blog has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the song “Concrete Angel”, Martina McBride, or country music.

I actually didn’t even know it was a song title until I found that people were searching my blog for it nearly every day. In fact, when I found out, I almost changed the URL as I am NOT a country music fan at all. By that time, I had owned the domain for quite a while and was attached to it.

“Why Concrete Angel?” you may ask…I chose the name because a friend of mine used to say that I was a “Concrete Angel.” He would say that I was “hard as stone, but with a soft side.” In other words, I may come off seem a bit cold-hearted until you get to know me and then you find there is a very sweet side of me. He pretty much hit the nail on the head and it just stuck. With all of that being said, knock yourself out:

“Concrete Angel” by Martina McBride

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

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

{Repeat Chorus}

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

{Repeat Chorus}
