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 But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
Now Mama couldn't see him, oh, but he was standing there And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.
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 "I understand"
Now ain't it kinda funny at the dark end of the road that someone lights the way 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 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 To guide us with a light of love.
