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
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 prayer

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
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
Now ain't it kind of funny
At the dark end of the road
Someone light 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
And grace us with their mercies 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

To guide us with a light of love
