Lyrics:
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

How does she sing this without crying? It’s been 15 years I’ve listened to this song and it still gets me every single time

[@achap9812]

When I need to cry but can't I have a list of videos to help the process this one

[@TheGamemaster420]

Honestly it's cuz some people and discard all or some emotions just to complete something they start

[@johnclabaugh726]

Every song this woman sings brings me to tears and touches me deeply.

[@morrigankasa570]

Exactly, this song is so sad and powerful. I have been considered "cold" and I even acknowledge that I can be, so sometimes I go to this song or some others just to feel "warm".

[@Gabriellahelms2024]

Me to I thank the same

[@lynnbright3068]

I just read a perfect saying for this song: Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child. So true.

[@brookematthews4938]

This song reminds me of my sister taken to soon

[@yessikacee9427]

Tear dropped my face after reading your comment. So sad,but so true😔

[@speechmom]

One of the scariest things right now about the shelter in place orders for COVID-19 is that kids are stuck in these houses now and parents who already had abusive tendencies are experiencing more stresses now. I worry that a lot of kids won’t make it through this. If you have any suspicion someone is at risk, say something and do something.

[@nkeemahdarrah8782]

speechmom exactly what I said this is sooo sad.

[@brittanywinters5640]

Workers are still going on call even with covid. There hasnt been anything going on because the ones who call are teachers,doctors and anyone who THINKS there is abuse. To many false cases. Not to mention fosters abuse to. Not just parents

[@nkeemahdarrah8782]

Brittany Winters im in dcf custody and its the saddest thing and workers arent even answering there phones at all either do how can anyone call and report child abuse if workers are always too busy to answer there phones mine never answers intil weeks fown the line

[@azraehl4194]

Great point. I hadn't even thought about the effect of c19 on stressed parents/foster parents. We absolutely have to protect our children .

[@user-ie9qy5yu2e]

I’m here in 2023😢

[@lanimaguire4145]

When I was a little girl, I used to listen to this song almost everyday when I was in my abusive home. I came back to listen to it in 2019 now that my step dad was sent off to jail and my home is now full of love. I’m almost finished high school and have so many opportunities lined up, but when I was a kid I didn’t even think I’d have the opportunity to live. So grateful for how things turned out.

[@belinda9599]

Wishing you a life filled with much happiness. I remember watching a woman on a TV show who had been brutally rapped and stabbed multiple times, including both of her eyes and she stated "she wasn't going to let this man take the rest of her life". She spent many years in the hospital and was now blind----wisest words I ever heard. Wishing the same for you----don't let these people take the rest of your life. Go after what you want and have a good life-----the best revenge ever!!!

[@truthbetold6011]

God bless you 🙏❣️

[@collinkresno5156]

I was this child and I survived. A lot of people who suffered this pain then go on and do it to their children. Break the cycle and be better. Always an amazing song. Such a powerful voice and message.

[@daniellesimper2479]

So was I and I’m still strong! And proud of myself what person I am today xx

[@halloweenfan3496]

I got a question for you then. Do you get paid for being in music videos?

[@dustinhesse3321]

That is why I will never have kids

[@christinaklee]

I totally understand.

[@Paige0_0]

I’m so sorry you experienced this. I was this child too. My parents were divorced when I was very young but although I loved my mom it was neglect when I was with her because she was an addict. When I went to my dads it was physical abuse from him and physical and psychological from who I call my evil stepmother. I have a mind full of mental health issues now with my biggest struggles being PTSD (or CPTSD now) and Major Depressive disorder. But I 100% agree that we have to break that cycle. There’s no way I’d ever bring a child into this world knowing that I would make a terrible parent. I can’t imagine putting an innocent child through even a small percentage of what me and my siblings went through. Thank you for being better. I know for a fact that I’ll do my damnedest to be better too when I finally decide to have kids.

[@oliviaperalta9720]

I remember seeing this music video on CMT as a small kid, and knowing it was sad, but not fully understanding. My mom was watching with me, and when I asked her about it, she had a strange reaction and wouldn't talk about it. We were at my grandparents house. Years later, I learned my mom lived the life of the girl in the song, abused at the hands of my awful grandmother. Nobody would help her or say anything, all too concerned with minding their own business. I'm glad they showed a woman as the abuser in this video, it's not acknowledged enough that women can be cruel and abusive too. I've decided to become an adoptive/foster parent, and help kids who've lived through these situations. If I can keep even one child from living through what my mother did, it will all be worth it.

[@melissagrant4178]

God bless you and family

[@karlam7050]

I went thru the abuse with my mother but she made sure my bruises were never seen and the verbal. Then the verbal with my husband. I got out of it now live by myself..

[@donnettenadeau9300]

I wish you the best of luck. I'm praying that God will bless you.

[@jakehero95]

Please, please be good to those kids don't give up on them altho it's ok to say I'm not the best person to help this particular child. Idk how much you know about the foster care system but..it's bad..really bad. These kids are terrified and have to toughen themselves up to survive the environment they're put in, both at home before and in foster after. It changes them, makes them not trust anyone as young children. Please try your best to make them feel loved and safe and *believed* in, they need it (esp those last two) more than you know. There are some whose parents love them deeply the system just won't let them be together like with illegal immigrants often times or those in extreme poverty, don't let them forget how much their parents love them and that there are still good ppl out there. Thank you for everything you do for them and thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like you had a wonderful mother who raised an equally wonderful daughter. Wishing you all the best take care and stay safe out there.

[@oliviaperalta9720]

@@jakehero95 I don't plan to ever give up on them. I will soon be finishing my masters degree in occupational therapy and plan to specialize in pediatrics. I am also working on becoming trauma informed, and have attended classes about it. Many children that go into foster care need occupational and speech therapy services, but the state is often slow to provide them.

rest in peace to all the precious, sweet innocent angels who lived only a short amount of time on this earth and experienced so much suffering & abuse at the hands of the ones who brought them into this world -- their parents. no child should ever experience those kinds of things and have their lives ripped from them at such a young age. 🖤

"Sometimes she wishes she was never born". I felt this. I remember being a child and hearing this song for the first time. Knowing I am a concrete angel. I had abusive dad who never showed me love. I have a permanent bruise on my arm, people always ask if its my birth mark. No its my angel spot, my concrete angel. To everyone saying there is no such thing as a permanent bruise, thank you. I did not know the medical term.. I do not understand why the fuck it bothers you all so much about this comment. I wrote something in confidence about myself, I do not need someone from anywhere in the world to tell me what happened to me. I felt connected to the song, and that was the whole point. Did your parents not teach you speak if you're spoken to???

Now I have CHF and coronary artery disease and a triple A and another aneurysm on the other side of my head that hasn't burst yet. Not a candidate for surgery for either so we're "watchful waiting."

@TradingKid1998 Child abuse is actually really a serious problem, and yes, for you and all of the people who don't know, you actually CAN be beaten to death, so it is possible. It probably took them a lot of guts to share this online, as a lot of people will read their story. It isn't self-pity shit, it's called sharing a story. I take it you probably weren't abused, as a child, but if you think that they are just doing this for attention, and nothing else, then go watch something else instead of wasting your time over here making very rude comments and replies to people. Dude congrats you just wasted your time on that comment making a dumb statement.

My mum sent me this song when I left home at 16 to live with my boyfriend aged 20... little did I know that this song would give me the strength to pull away from 8 months of physical, verbal and mental abuse every day I was there. My mothers biggest fear was the call she would get to tell her that her daughter had been killed by her abuser... this song breaks my heart and I sympathize with all children, men and women who are going through or have been through abuse 💜

Remember listening to this song on repeat as a child, because of the abuse I went through. I just connected with the lyrics. Back then I always saw the lines "but her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved" as she flew to heaven. But as an adult those words have gotten another meaning to me. I wanted more out of life, I had ambitions.. and those things definitely let me to where I am today.

Child abuse is handed down from parent to child. They use abuse because that's how their parents handled it. Often drug abuse is a factor because it creates poor judgement. My own personal story as a teacher was while working in China, were they still practice corporal punishment, I went to the principal when I saw a teacher hitting a child with a book. I got that teacher fired, but her friends then got me fired . ( I got transferred over to the International department, where the younger staff (and better trained) don't practice corporal punishment.

Me. You're not the only one. This world is a cruel, cruel place.

[@chloecrossan130]

Kimberly Caseman I cried at the whole thing 😢😢

[@justalittleotaku3994]

I cry when she dies because in videos you always expect a happy ending but nope, rips your fricking heart out instead

[@shyannamcgowan1438]

it's not ok to Bute your kid like that's not right

[@chloejane1295]

Kimberly Caseman i cried at the beginning

[@Fedrone]

Whomever didn't cry even a single teardrop has no soul. Thank you Martina McBride for this musical gift to the world, I thank you from the depths of my soul.

[@cathalgreene7091]

Fred Polizzi I got emotional

[@PinkAugust0]

cathal greene same but no tears

[@cblooy15]

Not because I don't have a soul but because it's hardened

[@Fedrone]

cathal greene same here buddy, I just know a kid that before being accepted by a foster family he was abused by his parents, so I just can't help crying myself to sleep everytime I listen to this wonderful song.

[@PunkWhatever-j7n]

2024 im 29 this year, i lived this life, every night for the first 12 years of my life and it only got worse after that. I always listened to this song and would pray that would happen to me, so my suffering would end. it never did. There are still children living this life and we sit idle doing nothing to save them.

[@charlesdshuping1630]

I can only imagine how hard it was ... but you are a survivor. I hope you can take that and share with the world so other children like you and girl in this video get help to escape the horror. God bless

[@williamsantillo188]

My mom grew up in an abusive household. This song reminds me of how strong she was to survive such a terrible childhood and delivered my sister and myself such a loving home and childhood. Makes me sad but grateful beyond measure.

I miss when country songs sounded country and cared about other people.

I've never been abused physically but my dad is very abusive verbally. Ever time I hear this song I cry. I can't imagine what its like for children to be abused and I just wish the world was a better place. If I could I would protect every child in the would from getting hurt. No one deserves that.

[@meganproffitt424]

hj_dramalover101 2 Even though it's verbal it's still abuse. Unfortunately the law only covers physical abuse. (Though it should cover all types)

I was verbally abused by a teacher from 2007-2010

[@jojojohnson2000]

This song as a mother of a daughter just hits even deeper man. I’ve always never been able to listen without crying but now it’s just too much. I’ve always believed some songs we have to force ourselves to listen to though if it’s difficult for us to hear just imagine how difficult it was to endure! This will forever be the hardest song and most powerful for me to listen too. The visuals paired with audio just broke my soul years ago when I first heard and saw it and it continues to have the same impact as that first viewing to me. Such a beautiful song on every level!

[@sammyrizzo1199]

I first heard this song when I was in middle school and I’m 30 now. I cried so fast the first time I heard it and still do to this day.

I sometimes feel like a concrete angel because surviving child abuse can be almost as awful as actually dying from it 🎶✨👼🏻 Concrete Angel 👼🏻✨🎶

[@jenniferk.pessagno9692]

I was abused by my father growing up & it became sexual abuse when I was 10. I've been blaming myself for not stopping it sooner because my brother ended up being abused as well. Had I had the strength & courage as his older sister, I could have better protected him. Our mom knew nothing about the sexual abuse until I had reached 7th grade & had enough. I'm 46 & the pattern of abuse continued until 2012 when I put my 2nd husband in prison for 10 yrs. It's an absolute tragedy that the system is so broken.

[@karaokay5444]

K B I feel the same way. I’m now 24 and it effects me to this day

I haven't been abused, but kids at school would always bully me so much that I would relate to this specific line...

A child should never have to feel like that or anyone for that matter
