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
