Kirk Franklin:
This is for the little child with no father
For that man that doesn’t have a place to stay
And for that little boy living with AIDS
You can lean on me
Verse 1:
(R. Kelly)
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 crying out
Verse 2:
(Crystal Lewis)
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
Chorus:
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
Verse 3:
(Mary J. Blige)
Oh…ooh…ooh…ooh...
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
Prayin’ that someday the sun will shine again
And the pain will end
Chorus
Verse 4:
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
Instead of walkin’ away, open up
Open up your heart and say
Chorus
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
