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,
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 the 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
And ain't it kind of funny
At the dark end of the road
That 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 the 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 the light of love
