I was walking home from school on a cold winter day Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way It was getting late and I was scared and alone Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home Mama couldn't see him though he was standing there But 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 To 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 they understand Now it ain't 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 To guide us with a light of love They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places To grace us with their mercy 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 To guide us with a light of love They guide us with a light of love
