What powerful lyrics, did she watch my childhood?

Concrete Angel by Martina McBride-

she walks to school with a 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 the teacher wonders but she doesn't ask

it's hard to see the pain behind the mask
bearing the burden of a secret stormsometimes she wishes she was never born

CHORUS: 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 light
a fragile soul caught in the hands of fate when morning comes it'll be too late

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

April,
I have no idea what all is going on right now and I don't need to know, but I do feel the need to pray for you...so I will. This song and the lives it represents, breaks my heart...
