Alright, I've got two songs to add.
Silent Legacy
Melissa Etheridge
Why did you steal the matches
From the one room motel
Once they gave you answers
Now they give you hell
They will never understand
The wonder where did they go wrong
How could you be so selfish
Why can't you get along
And as you pray in you darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
You've seen it in the movies
And you've heard it on the street
Craving the affection
Your blood is full of heat
They don't listen to your reasons
As original as sin
Deny all that you feel
And they will bring you home again
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
Your body is alive
But no one told you what you'd feel
The empty aching hours
Trying to conceal
The natural progression
Is the coming of your age
But they cover it with shame
And turn it into rage
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
You are digging for the answers
Until your fingers bleed
To satisfy the hunger
To satiate the need
They feed you on the guilt
To keep you humble keep you low
Some man and myth they made up
A thousand years ago
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
Mothers tell your children
Be quick you must be strong
Life is full of wonder
Love is never wrong
Remember how they taught you
How much of it was fear
Refuse to hand it down
The legacy stops here
Oh my child
Concrete Angel
Martina McBride
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
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'll 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
A 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 _________________ You've jaded me and that's beautiful
