Lyrics
I was walkin’ home from school on a cold winter dayTook a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my wayIt was gettin’ late, and I was scared and aloneBut then a kind old man took my hand and led me homeMama couldn’t see him, but he was standin’ thereAnd I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayersOh I believe there are angels among usSent down to us from somewhere up aboveThey come to you and me in our darkest hoursTo show us how to live, to teach us how to giveTo guide us with the light of loveWhen life held troubled times, and had me down on my kneesThere’s always been someone there to come along and comfort meA kind word from a stranger, to lend a helpin’ handA phone call from a friend, just to say I understandAnd ain’t it kind of funny that at the dark end of the roadSomeone lights the way with just a single ray of hopeOh I believe there are angels among usSent down to us from somewhere up aboveThey come to you and me in our darkest hoursTo show us how to live, to teach us how to giveTo guide us with the light of loveThey wear so many faces; show up in the strangest placesTo grace us with their mercy, in our time of needOh I believe there are angels among usSent down to us from somewhere up aboveThey come to you and me in our darkest hoursTo show us how to live, to teach us how to giveTo guide us with the light of loveTo guide us with the light of love
