Lean On Me Lyrics By Kirk Franklin
[Bono] Oooooohhh
[Intro:]
[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
[R. Kelly] Can I tell you a story, tell you a story
[Kirk] You can lean on me
[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
[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
[Chorus:]
[Choir]
I am here
You don’t have to worry
I can see…
[Kirk] I can see your tears
[Choir]
….your tears
I’ll be there in a hurry when you call
[Kirk] Yes I will
[Choir] Friends are there to catch you when you fall
[Kirk] Here’s my shoulder
[Choir] Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Kirk] hallelujah
[Mary J. Blige] Ooooohhhhh
[Kirk] Listen
[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
[Choir] As she hold (holds), his hand (hand)
[Bono] Prayin’ that someday
The sun will shine again
[Kirk] And the pain?
[Choir] And the pain will end
[Kirk] Pain will end….Come on
[Choir] I am here
[Mary J. Blige] I am here
[Choir] You don’t have to worry
[Mary J. Blige] You don’t have to worry
[Choir] I can see…
[Mary J. Blige] I see…
[Choir] ….your tears
[Mary J. Blige] ….your tears, yeah
[Choir] I’ll be there in a hurry when you call
[Mary J. Blige] I’ll be there in a hurry when you call
[Choir] Friends are there to catch you when you fall
[Mary 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
[Mary J. Blige] Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Bridge:]
[R. Kelly]
Tell me, how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I’ve never seen His face
[Bono] Yeah, I see you dying
[Crystal Lewis] And I turn and walk away
[Crystal] So hold my hand
[Mary J. Blige] Oooooohhhhh
[Bono] Let me take you to a friend of mine
[R. Kelly] He’s waiting just to ease your troubled mind
[Kirk] Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you’ll ever know
[Bono] ‘Stead of walking away
[Kirk] Open up
[Crystal Lewis] Open up your heart and say
[Kirk] Come on
[Chorus:]
[Choir] I am here
[R. Kelly] I am here
[Choir]
You don’t have to worry
I can see your tears
I’ll be there in a hurry when you call
[Kirk] hallelujah
[Choir] Aaaaaaah
[Tamila Mann – Family] 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
[Dalon Collins – Family] Thank you Jesus, yeah
[R. Kelly] OhYeah, oh yeah
[Choir]
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Bono] You can lean on me
[R. Kelly] Lean on me, yeah, yeah
[Kirk] You’re my friend but you’re also my brother
[Bono] Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
