 (Spoken)
I  was walkin' home from school
 on a cold  winter day,
took  a short cut 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.
Oh  mama couldn't  see him,
 but  he was standing there,
 And 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 hours
 to show  us how to live
 to teach  us how to give
 to guide  us with a 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
 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 hours
 to show  us how to live
 to teach  us how to give
 to guide  us with a light  of love.
They  wear so many  faces,
show  up in the strangest  places
 and grace  us with their mercies 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 a light  of love.
 to guide  us with a light  of love
