Concrete Angel
by Martina McBride


She

walks

to

school

with

a

lunch

she

packed.

No-

bod-

y

knows

what

she's

hold-

ing

back.


Wear-

ing

the

same

dress

she

wore

yes-

ter-

day,

She

hides

the

bruis-

es

with

her

lin-

en

and

lace.

(hoo-

oo)


The

teach-

er

wond-

ers

but

she

does-

n't

ask.

It's

hard

to

see

the

pain

be-

hind

the

mask.


Bear-

ing

the

bur-

den

of

a

sec-

ret-

storm,

Some

time

she

wish-

es

she

were

nev-

er

born.




Through

the

wind

and

the

rain

she

stands

hard

as

a

stone

in

a

world

that

she

can't

rise

a-

bove.


But

her

dreams

give

her

wings

and

she

flies

to

a

place

where

she's

lo-

oved.

Con-

cre-

ete

A-

an-

gel.




Some-

bod-

y

cries

in

the

mid-

dle

of

the

night.

The

neigh-

bors

hear

but

they

turn

out

the

light.


A

frag-

ile

soul

caught

in

the

hands

of

fate,

when

morn-

ing

comes

it'-

ll

be

to

late.




Through

the

wind

and

the

rain

she

stands

hard

as

a

stone

in

a

world

that

she

can't

rise

a-

bove.


But

her

dreams

give

her

wings

and

she

flies

to

a

place

where

she's

lo-

oved.

Con-

cre-

ete

A-

an-

ge-

el.




A

stat-

ue

stands

in

a

shade-

ed

place;

an

an-

gel

girl

with

an

up-

turned

face.


Her

name

is

writt-

en

on

a

pol-

ished

rock.

A

bro-

ken

heart

that

the

world

for-

got.

=============================================

=============================================
I played through this song with the music. its really good i love it but i cam to the conclusion if the note changes but the word is continuing then the notes should be tied the first example of this would be in the second "bar" when it says no-bod-y the space between no and bod should be tonged but the space between bod and y should be tied so it sounds like no-body. ~Just trying to help Ryan ============================================== although "body" is one word, if you sing it there is a break, not a fluid motion between bo and dy you play the way you would sing so really its not bod-y but instead bo-dy syllables :) not meant to critisize, just to clear things up, i was in band for a long time 10-13-09 ~amy
