This is for that little child with no father   For that man that doesn't have a place to stay   And 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   (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?      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   (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)      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 and      As she hold his hand   (Holds his hand)   Prayin' that someday   The sun will shine again   (And the pain?)   And the pain will end   (Pain will end, come on)      I am here   (I am here)   You don't have to worry   (You don'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)   Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me   (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   'Stead of walking 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      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   (Thank you Jesus, yeah)   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 can lean on me   Hallelujah
