Lean On Me
Kirk Franklin

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 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
 As she holds, 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 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
 'Stead 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 will be there to catch you when, catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder,  you can lean on me
