--spoken--
G                       D        Em        D            
I was walkin' home from school   on a cold  winter day,
G                Em                C                D    
took a short cut through the woods    and I lost my way.
G              D         Em               D      
It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone.
G               Em7         C                D7    
Then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home.

--sing--
C             D              C                D      
mama couldn't see him,   but  he was standing there,
    C             D                C            D7     
and  I knew in my heart he was the answer to my prayer

Chorus:
    G   Em              Am      D        
Oh, I believe there are Angels Among us,
G         Em         C             D    
sent down to us from somewhere up above
             G       Em        C           D     
they come to you and me in Ou- r darkest hou- rs
   C              D        C               D    
to show us how to live, to teach us how to give
   C               D7       G     
to guide us with a light of love.

G Bm C  D

Verse 2
G                       D     
When life held troubled times
Em                    D     
and had me down on my knees
G                   Em      
there's always been someone
        C                 D  
to come along and comfort me
  G                D           Em             D    
a kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
  G                 Em7            C          D7    
a phone call from a friend just to say I understand
    C                D     
Now ain't it kind of funny
       C               D    
at the dark end of the road
    C                 
someone light the way
            C             D7    
with just a single ray of hope.

repeat Chorus

Bridge:
C            Bm          
They wear so many faces,
C              Bm               
show up in the strangest places
   C                    Bm      
and grace us with their mercies
Am             D7    
in our time of need.
