He walks to work with the lunch he packed
Nobody knows what he's holdin' back
wearin the outfit he wore yesterday
He has the bruises from eating a snack

The teacher wonders why he's not at school
It's hard to teach without all the kids
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes he wishes that cement didnt pour

 

Some cement cracks in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile driveway in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

Through the wind and the rain
It sits hard as a stone
In a world where theres lots of cement
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where roads set
Concrete driveway

A driveway stands in a shaded place
An angel man with a driveway face
His name is written on a polished road
A broken driveway the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain
It sits hard as a stone
In a world where theres lots of cement
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where roads set
Concrete driveway
