(spoken)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
then a kind old man took my hand and led me
home.
(sung)Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing 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 hour
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.
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 hour
to show us how to live, to teach us how to
give
to guide us with a light of love.
They wear so many
faces, show up in the strangest places
to guide 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 hour
to show us
how to live, to teach us how to give
to guide us with a light of
love

On September 11th,
2001, over 340 firefighters lost their lives during the terrorist attack on the
World Trade Center in New York City. These men and women made the ultimate sacrifice
as they went about their jobs and fought to rescue others from the inferno and
chaos of this New York landmark. It's been estimated that these brave men and
women may have saved the lives of more than 25,000 people in the twin towers
tragedy, before they lost their own lives.
Firefighters are modern day heroes. They go to work every day not knowing if
they will be returning home to their families. Firefighters are killed in the
line of duty every day across the country, protecting the lives and property of
the citizens of this great nation. It's a duty these men and women gladly and
proudly fulfill, knowing full well the risks involved.
I've had the honor of working side by side with our local fire department, Fort
Payne Alabama Fire and Rescue, as a volunteer for the past few years. I've
seen the professionalism, dedication, determination, caring, bravery and
sacrifice that these men and women have exhibited to the citizens of our area,
and I'm proud to be associated with such a fine, outstanding group of
individuals as these even if only in a small way.
