I heard about a woman who lives in Colorado she built a monument of psalm (?) behind the garage door where everyday she prays for all whom are born and all whose souls have passed on Sometimes my trouble gets so thick I can't see how I'm gonna get through it, but then I would rather be stuck up in a tree than be tied to it I know There is so much more I don't feel comfortable with the way my clothes fit I can't get used to my body's limits I got some fancy shoes to try to take away these blues, they cost a lot of money but they aren't worth a thing I want to free my feet from the broken glass and concrete. I need to get out of this city Lay upon the ground, stare a hole in the sky, wondering where I go when I die, when I die Brett Dennen ~ There is so much more.

Concrete Angel Somebody cries in the middle of the night, The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights; A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate, When morning comes it will be too late. 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 A statue stands in a shaded place, An angel girl with an upturned face; Her name is written on a polished rock, A broken heart that the world forgot. 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
