Angels Among Us

Alabama

1. 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 me home.
   mama couldn't see him,
   but he was standing there,
   and I knew in my heart
   he was the answer to my prayer.

R: Oh, I be-lieve there are Angels A-mong 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.


2. 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
   just to say I understand
   Now ain't it kind of funny
   at the dark end of the road
   someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.

R: Oh, I be-lieve...

*: They wear so many faces,
   show up in the strangest places
   and grace us with their mercies in our time of need.

R: Oh, I be-lieve...
