Lean On Me Lyrics

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
Standing on the corner
He has no home
He has no food and his blue skies are gone
Can't 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'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder you can lean on me

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 as she holds his hand
Praying that someday the sun will shine again
And the pain will end

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 are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder you can lean on me

Tell me how can I love Jesus
When I've never seen His face
Yet 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
Yet 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'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder you can lean on me
