I was walkin' home from school on a cold winter day
Took a short cut through the woods and I lost my way
It was gettin' late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Momma couldn't see him but he was standin' there
And I knew in my heart he was the answer to my prayer
Oh I be lieve 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
And 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 under stand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Some one lights the way with just a single ray of hope
Oh I be lieve 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
And 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 be lieve 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
And guide us with a light of love
To guide us with a light of love
