[Ooh…hoo…]
This is for the little child with no father
For that man that doesn’t have a place to stay [Oh…oh…]
And for that little boy living with AIDS
[Now tell your story, tell your story]
You can lean on me
There’s a man [Oh, yeah]
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 crying out
And there’s a girl
Searching for a father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walkin’ 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…ooh…ooh…ooh… (Listen)
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 as [As she holds] (Holds) [His hand] (His
hand)
Prayin’ 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 won’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 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 (Here’s my shoulder), you can lean on me (You can
lean, lean on me, yeah)
Tell me how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I 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 (Yeah, yeah, He loves you
more than you’ll ever know)
Instead of walkin’ 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
Friends’ll be there to catch you when, catch you when you fall, ooh
Thank you Jesus, yeah
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Oh, yeah, oh, yeah]
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me [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 could lean on me
Hallelujah
