Lean on Me

Lean On Me
Kirk Franklin
(featuring R.Kelly, Bono, Mary J. Blige and Crystal Lewis)
see the partiture

Oooooohhh
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
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 cryin' 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"

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

As she hold his hand
Prayin' 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,
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
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"

You're my friend, but you're also my brother
Here's my shoulder you can lean on me
Halleluia
