Intro: C G/B Am7 G
C G/B Am7
C G/B Am7 G
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
C G/B Am7 G
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
C G/B Am7 G
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
C G/B Am7 G C G/B Am7 G
She hides the bruises with linen and lace, ooh
C G/B Am7 G
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
C G/B Am7 G
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
C G/B Am7 G
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
C G/B Am7 G
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Chorus:
C G
Through the wind and the rain
Am G
She stands hard as a stone
C G Am
In a world that she can't rise above
G C G
But her dreams give her wings

And she flies to a place where she's loved

C G/B Am7
C G/B Am7 G
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
C G/B Am7 G
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
C G/B Am7 G
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
C G/B Am7 G
When morning comes it'll be too late

A name is written on a polished rock
C G/B Am7 G
A broken heart that the world forgot

Great Job! I love this song---playing it in my church soon! *my sister will sing it, since I am not blessed with the gift of singing :)
-Jonnyboy182 | 2/25/2003 | Ah, wonderful job. I have an aunt who is pretty abusive to her son, and is open to giving him a beating in public, but yet when my sisters, mom and I made her watch the video for it, my aunt cringed and said, "I can't understand why people do things like that." Thank you for the great chords, 'cause now when hse is over, I can play the song.
