Angels Among Us - 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 getting late and I was scared and alone

But then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home

Now 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

But ain’t it kind of funny at the dark end of the road

That 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

To guide us with the light of love
