I was listening to "Concrete Angel" by Martina Mcbride when I thought of this. Every time I listened to the song I kept thinking of Naruto and how his situation in the village was similar. So I rewrote the lyrics to "Concrete Angel" to fit Naruto. I hope you like it. I cried when I wrote it. Reviews are welcome.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Martina Macbride's "Concrete Angel".
Smiling Ninja
He walks to school with a lunch he packed
Nobody knows what he's holdin' back
Wearin' the same clothes he wore yesterday
He hides the bruises with a grin on his face
Oooohooo…
The teacher wonders about the lone child
It's hard to see the pain behind the smile
Bearin' the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes he wishes he was never born
Through the pain and the hate
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved
Smiling Ninja
Somebody cries in the middle of the day
A brother hears, but he just turns away
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When sensei comes it'll be too late
Through the sorrowful pain
He stands hard as a stone
Pleading with his friend to come home
But his bond remains strong
And he flies to a place where pain's gone
Smiling Ninja
A picture stands in a wooden case
A ninja boy with a smiling face
A name is written on obsidian rock
A hero his friends never forgot
Through the wind and the rain
He stood hard as a stone
In a world that he couldn't rise above
But his dreams gave him wings
And he flew to a place where he's loved
Smiling Ninja
