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 I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart he was the answer to my prayer

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 time 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
Now 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 hour
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 mercies
In out 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 hour
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

To guide us with the light of love

To the best man I have ever known, Mr Magic may you smile....
