Received this request today from a music pal..

------------------------------------------------------------
He says:

I heard a song the other day, the title was sorta like

"Angels Among Us", not sure if that is correct---

But there are a lot of kids singing in the 2nd part of it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Not a lot to go on but appreciate any help...

---the correct title or who recorded it? or the lyrics?

Well, here is one by Alabama with that title...

ANGELS AMONG US

Written by becky hobbs

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.
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there.
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.

Chorus
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 a light of love.

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
There's always been someone there 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.
And ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.

Chorus

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places.
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need.

Chorus
To guide us with a light of love.

PS--the Alabama lyrics were the entire first page of Google hits...
I'm guessing this is it because of a kid walking home from school. No clue who you heard 'covering' it.
