The song "Angels Amongst Us" is based on a true story of the songwriter Becky Hobbs.
'Angels Amongst Us' Lyrics
I was walkin' home from school
on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods,
and I lost my way
It was gettin' 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 standin' there
And I knew in my heart,
he was the answer to my prayers
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 the 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 helpin' 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
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 the light of love
They wear so many faces;
show up in the strangest places
To grace us with their mercy,
in our time of need
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 the light of love
To guide us with the light of love
The song "Angels Among Us," performed by the renowned group Alabama, is a moving tribute to the power of miracles.
But the story behind the writing of this song is a miracle in itself.
Songwriter Becky Hobbs had composed hits for stars like Conway Twitty, Emmylou Harris, and Glen Campbell.
In 1994, Cash Box Magazine named our Independent Country Music Female Artist Of The Year.
Her biggest dream came true when Alabama took 'Angels Among Us' to the top of the charts for over a year, but that dream began with a nightmare.
When the members of Alabama heard Becky's song, they too were deeply moved.
