Lean on Me

[Solo] Oooooohhh

[Intro:]
[Solo]
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

[Solo] Can I tell you a story, tell you a story [Solo] You can lean on me

[Solo]

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

[Solo]

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

[Chorus:]
[Choir]
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

[Solo]

Oh, there's a child

[Choir-ladies]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

[Choir] As she holds (holds), his hand (hand) [Solo] Prayin' that someday
The sun will shine again
[Solo] And the pain?

[Choir] And the pain will end [Solo] Pain will end....Come on

[Choir] I am here
[Solo J. Blige] I am here
[Choir] You don't have to worry
[Solo J. Blige] You don't have to worry
[Choir] I can see...
[Solo J. Blige] I see...
[Choir] ....your tears
[Solo J. Blige] ....your tears, yeah
[Choir] I'll be there in a hurry when you call
[Solo J. Blige] I'll be there in a hurry when you call
[Choir] Friends are there to catch you when you fall
[Solo J. Blige] I'm your friend and I'll catch you when, when, when you fall [Choir] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Solo J. Blige] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

[Bridge:]
[ Solo] Tell me, how can I, how can I love Jesus, When I've never seen His face [Solo] Yeah, I see you dying
[Solo] And I turn and walk away

[Crystal] So hold my hand
[Solo ] Oooooohhhhh
[Solo] Let me take you to a friend of mine
[Solo] He's waiting just to ease your troubled mind
[Solo] Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you'll ever know

[Solo] 'Stead of walking away [Solo] Open up
[Solo] Open up your heart and say [Solo] Come on

[Chorus:]
[Choir] I am here
[Solo] I am here
[Choir]
You don't have to worry
I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you
[Solo] Alleluia
[Choir] Aaaaaaah
[Solo] When you call, friends will be there to catch you when, catch you when you fall
[Choir] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Solo] Thank you Jesus, yeah
