SHE HiDES THE PAiN

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she\\\'s holdin\\\' back
Wearin\\\' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with 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 storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

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
