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 precious baby boy 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. 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 that at the dark end of the road. 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
