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
Mama couldn't see him 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 there
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
And ain't it kind of funny that
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 guide 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
To guide us with a light of love
