Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
And ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love
Oh well I believe there are angels among us
There's always been someone to come along and comfort me
Oh well I believe there are angels among us
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To guide us with the light of love
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
Oh well I believe there are angels among us
That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
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
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
