"leave me alone" I sob as my parents beat me
"why what did you do wrong at school tell us" they say and hit me with a bat
"sob" someone help me' I say and die from being beaten to death
The moon saved me and the guardians housed me when I became a spirit
The spirit of nature to be exact
One night as I am remembering my death I hear someone singing about a little girl who died
It was none other than my living aunt she was singing this
She walks to school with the lunch she packedNobody knows what she's holding backWearing the same dress she wore yesterdayShe hides the bruises with the linen and lace, ohThe teacher wonders but she doesn't askIt's hard to see the pain behind the maskBearing the burden of a secret stormSometimes she wishes she was never bornThrough the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stoneIn a world that she can't rise aboveBut her dreams give her wings and she flies to a placeWhere she's loved concrete angelSomebody cries in the middle of the nightThe neighbors hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fateWhen morning comes it will be too lateThrough the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stoneIn a world that she can't rise aboveBut her dreams give her wings and she flies to a placeWhere she's loved concrete angelA statue stands in a shaded placeAn angel girl with an upturned faceA name is written on a polished rockA broken heart that the world forgotThrough the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stoneIn a world that she can't rise aboveBut her dreams give her wings and she flies to a placeWhere she's loved concrete angelI cried like I never had cried before but I was among a new family my guardian family and nothing would ever hurt me again
