I was walkin' home from school on a cold winter day Took a short cut through the woods and I lost my way It was gettin' late and I was scared and alone Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home Momma couldn't see him but he was standin' there And I knew in my heart he was the answer to my prayer Oh I believe there are angels among us Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours To show us how to live to teach us how to give And guide us with a light of love When life held troubled times and had me down on my knees There's always been someone to come along and comfort me A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand A phone call from a friend just to say I understand Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope Oh I believe there are angels among us Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours To show us how to live to teach us how to give And guide us with a light of love They wear so many faces show up in the strangest places Grace us with their mercies in our time of need Oh I believe there are angels among us Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours To show us how to live to teach us how to give And guide us with a light of love To guide us with a light of love
