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
When a precious baby boy took my hand and let 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 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
