Lyrics
On the way to school Robins POV 11 years old (they both are)
I was walking to school. I saw a girl from my class Raven, she's my best friend...that's a girl. I noticed she was wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. I remember her wearing the exact same thing yesterday. The one thing I also noticed was that she had lunch...something she never seemed to have. I sit with her in class, cause she doesn't have any friends. But I like to think that we are. I also share my lunch with her when she doesn't bring one. I know her family's poor and so my mom packs me two lunches. One for me and one for her.
In class
We walked into class and sat down at our desks. Roy came up and talked to me, but I was to preoccupied with watching Raven. She was acting weird, different, not herself. And that itself got me worried.
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 the linen and lace
Oh
She also usually had her hair back like in a bun, to keep it out of her way when she was working. Today however, she kept it in her face. She did however pull up her shirt's sleeves. I was shocked as was the teacher, who was conviently walking by, to see a hand shaped bruise on her arm. I looked at her concerned as well as our teacher, Mrs. Amazonia.
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
Its hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
I saw Mrs. Amazonia open her mouth to ask Raven what happened. But instead she closed her mouth. I wondered why when I looked at Rae, I saw she had put a mask over herself to protect herself from emotion. I watched the cloth fall down Rae's arm again. She felt the fabric fall and bit her lip as it covered her bruises. When it was time to write I saw her write a few sentences that made me sad.
She wrote, 'Why was I born? To be apart of the pain, or to be used as a punching bag? Why was I hurt? What have I ever done to make the lord above us angry with me. I hide a storm inside my home, I keep a mask to protect me. But sometimes I wish I was never born.' I saw those words blending together and I was afraid of whatever happened to her. She is my best friend and as hers. I'm supposed to keep her safe. And by the looks of it I was doing a horrible job.
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
Raven knows she's not the most important thing in the world. She knows that her life is better than most. She's not like everyone in this class however. She dreams big...sometimes. Yet, when she does it's always big, or helpful for the world. It's like she grows wings and turns into an angel. She says sometimes, that when she dreams she's really flying to a place where she's loved. I never understood what she meant, until now. She's an angel on the ground. A concrete angel.
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 faith
When morning comes it will be to late
At their houses (they are neighbors)
I woke up to a scream of pain. It sounded like Raven. I went to my window, and saw Raven getting hit, by her dad. I looked around at the other houses and saw them turing out the lights. How could they do that? She was screaming practically bloody murder and no one cared? Well I did. I ran for the closest phone in the house and dialed 911. I told them the situation and they immediately sent the police and medics to help her. I heard a gun shot, just as the police arrived. I ran outside hoping and praying she would be alright. My parents were right behind me. Please be ok Raven, Please. The medic ran inside and came out with Rae in his arms. He put her in the ambulance and they raced to the hospital.
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
Raven wasn't in school today. My parents took me to her though. She was bandaged heavily. The doctors said she had a bullet in her stomach, but it didn't do far inside her. She has many bruises, and she was really hungry. The last cause her dad never fed her. They said she would be fine. I brethed a sigh of relief. My parents looked happy to.
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
They told me that there would never be a staue waiting for Rae anytime soon. Her broken heart will be forgotten to, bacause it's going to be replaced with happiness. They said she would be staying with us. That made me smile big. My best friend would always be safe. Forever.
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 wear she's loved
Concrete Angel
When I told Rae the news, she said that I was her savior. Cause I saved her from death. The doctor said I was her gardian angel...but I wasn't. She was my concrete angel. And always will be.
