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, oh but he was standing there And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
Chorus: 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 And 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
Chorus
They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need
