Lean On Me Lyrics

by Kirk Franklin

<i>[Bono] Oooooohhh
<i>[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
<i>[R. Kelly] Can I tell you a story, tell you a story
<i>[Kirk] You can lean on me

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e15385-kirk_franklin~lean_on_me_lyrics.html ]
<i>[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

<i>[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

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

<i>[Kirk] halleluia
<i>[Mary J. Blige] Ooooohhhhh
<i>[Kirk] Listen

<i>[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

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

<i>[Choir] I am here
<i>[Mary J. Blige] I am here
<i>[Choir] You don't have to worry
<i>[Mary J. Blige] You don't have to worry

<i>[Bridge:]
<i>[R. Kelly] Tell me, how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I've never seen His face
<i>[Bono] Yeah, I see you dying
[Crystal Lewis[ And I turn and walk away
