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.
