Concrete Angel(凝固的天使)是一首由Martina McBride演唱、以關(guān)注虐待兒童為主題的歌曲。這首歌以敘事的方式講述了一個(gè)小女孩被酗酒的母親毆打致死的悲慘故事,其中尤其提及那些察覺孩子被虐跡象,卻不管不問的老師、鄰居等等,讓人們警醒——防止悲劇的發(fā)生還需全社會(huì)的關(guān)注,不僅僅是茶余飯后痛心疾首過就忘的談資,而更應(yīng)該實(shí)際地伸出雙手給予那些生活在家庭暴力中的孩子以幫助。



每一個(gè)孩子都是可愛的小天使,但不是每一個(gè)天使都能夠幸福地飛翔。寂靜的墓地里,小小的石碑上,冰冷的石頭塑成一副沒有表情的石像。那是被剝奪生命權(quán)利的小小精靈,永遠(yuǎn)地長眠于地下。短暫的人生旅途中,總是重復(fù)著同樣的無奈軌跡:白天,老師看見了她竭力遮掩的深深淺淺的傷,但卻沒有過問;夜里,鄰居聽見了她努力克制的斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的哭聲,但卻關(guān)上了燈。直到終究有一天,即使釀成大錯(cuò)的父母帶上鐐銬,她也再看不到太陽的升起。褪去傷痕累累的肉身,她終于得以釋放自己的靈魂。這是我們自我安慰的借口,但若人間無情,恐怕天堂也要成為失落的樂園。



Concrete Angel
by Martina McBride

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, oh

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 light
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
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
