For me, it would have to be Concrete Angel by Martina McBride and the English version of Brothers, sung by Vic Mignogna.
Concrete Angel
She walks to school with a lunch she packed,
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back.
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, oh-oh.
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask.
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask.
Bearin' 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 gives 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 th hands of fate,
When mornin' 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 gives 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 gives her wings,
And she flies to a place
Where she's loved.
Concrete angel.
Brothers
How can I repay you, brother mine?
How can I expect you to forgive?
Clinging to the past, I shed our blood
And shattered your chance to live.
Though I knew the laws, I paid no heed.
How can I return your wasted breath?
What I did not know has cost you dear,
For there is no cure for death.
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet,
Once you were gone, we were not complete.
Back through the years we reached for you.
Alas, 'twas not meant to be!
And how can I make amends
For all that I took for you?
I led you with hopeless dreams.
My brother, I was a fool.
Don't cry for the past now, brother mine,
Neither you nor I are free from blame.
Nothing can erase the things we did,
For the path we took was the same.
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet,
Once you were gone, we were not complete.
Back through the years we reached for you.
Alas, 'twas not meant to be!
My dreams made me blind and mute.
I longed to return to that time.
I followed without a word.
My brother, the fault is mine.
So where do we go from here?
And how to forget and forgive?
What's gone is forever lost.
Now all we can do is live...
