Lean On Me

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
Can I tell you a story? Tell you a story
You can lean on me

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)
Cannot you hear him crying out

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

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

Oh
Listen

Oh, there's a child (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
As she hold (holds), his hand (hand)
Praying that someday
The sun will shine again

And the pain?
And the pain (pain will end) will end
Come on

I am here (I am here)
You don't have to worry (you don't have to worry)
I can see (I see) your tears (your tears, yeah)
I'll be there in a hurry when you call (I'll be there in a hurry when you call)
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
(I'm your friend, and I'll catch you when, when, when you fall)
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me (here's my shoulder, you can lean on me)
(Lean on me, yeah)

Tell me, how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I've never seen His face
Yeah, I see you dying
And I turn and walk away
So hold my hand

Let me take you to a friend of mine
He's waiting just to ease your troubled mind
Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you'll ever know
'Stead of walking away
Open up
Open up your heart and say
Come on

I am here (I am here)
You don't have to worry
I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
When you call, friends will be there to catch you when
Catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me (thank You, Jesus, yeah)

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me (you can lean on me)
(Lean on me, yeah) here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
You're my friend, but you're also my brother
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
Hallelujah
