Angels Among Us

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
 My 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
 But 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
 To guide us with a light of love
