Lean On Me

This is for that little child with no father

For that man that doesn't have a place to stay

And 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 standing on the corner

He has no home, he has no food

And his blue skies are gone (Yes it is)

Can 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 your tears (I can see 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, ooh

(Listen)

Oh, there's a child (There is a child)

Who is sick and begging to be free

But there is no cure for his disease

He looks up to his mother

As she holds his hand (Holds his hand)

Praying that someday the sun will shine again (And the pain?)

And the pain will end (Pain will end, come on)

I am here, you don't have to worry

I can 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 fall)

Friends are there to catch you when you fall

(I'm your friend and I'll catch you when, when, when you fall yeah, yeah, yeah)

Here's my shoulder you can lean on me

(Here's my shoulder you can lean, 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

That's waiting just to ease your troubled mind

Yeah yeah, he loves you more than you'll ever know

Instead of walking away (Open up)

Open up your heart and say (Come on)

I am here, you don't have to worry

I can see your tears

I'll be there in a hurry 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

Lean on me, yeah 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)
