1. I was walking home from
school on a cold winter day,
G Em - C
D
took
a shortcut through woods and I lost
my way.
G D Em C
It was getting late, and I was scared and
alone,
G
- Em C D
but then
a kind old man took my hand, and
led me home.
C Bm C D
My mama couldn't see him, oh,
but he was standing there,
C
G C D - D7
and I
knew in my heart he was the answer to my prayers.
G Em - C
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 our darkest hours
C
G C D
to show us how to live, to teach
us how to give,
C D G
to guide us with the light of
love.

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