Lean on Me

(Bono) Oooooohhh
(Kirk) This is for that little child with no father
For that man that doesn't have a place to stay
For that little boy living with AIDS
(R. Kelly) Can I tell you a story, tell you a story
(Kirk) You can lean on me

(R. Kelly) There's a man (oh yes)
Standing on the corner
He has no home
He has no food
And his blue skies are gone (yes it is)
Can't you hear him cryin' out

(Crystal Lewis) And there's a girl
Searching for a father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walking away
Open up your heart and say

(Chorus:)
(Choir) I am here
You don't have to worry
I can see...
(Kirk) I can see your tears
(Choir) ...your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
(Kirk) Yes I will
(Choir) Friends are there to catch you when you fall
(Kirk) Here's my shoulder
(Choir) Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

(Kirk) halleluia
(Mary J. Blige) Ooooohhhhh
(Kirk) Listen

(Mary J. Blige) Oh, there's a child
Who is sick and begging to be free
But there is no cure for his disease
He looks up to his mother and

(Choir) As she hold (holds), his hand (hand)
(Bono) Prayin' that someday
The sun will shine again
(Kirk) And the pain?
(Choir) And the pain will end
(Kirk) Pain will end... Come on

(Choir) I am here
(Mary J. Blige) I am here
(Choir) You don't have to worry

(Mary J. Blige) I'll be there in a hurry when you call

(Mary J. Blige) I'm your friend and I'll catch you when, when, when you fall
(Choir) Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
(Mary J. Blige) Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

When I've never seen His face
