Angels Among Us

as sung by Alabama

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day
took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way.
It was gettin'late and I was scared and alone,
then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
Momma couldn't see him, but he was standin' there,
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 hour,
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".
Ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road,
someone lights the way with just one ray of hope.

(Repeat Chorus)

They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places,
Grace us with their mercies,
In our time of need.

(Repeat Chorus)
