SINGER: Mary J. Blige

SONG:Lean On Me

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 (Oh yeah)
Standing on a corner
He has no home
He has no food and his blue skies are gone (Yes it is)
Can you hear him crying out

And there's a girl
Searching for the Father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walking away
Oh, open up your heart and say

[1]
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

(Hallelujah)
Oh, yeah
Oh there's a child (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 he holds (Holds) his hand (His hand)
Praying that some day
The sun will shine again (And the pain)
And the pain (The pain will end) will end (Come on)

[Repeat 1]

Tell me how can I
How can I love Jesus
When I've never seen his face
Yeah, I see you're tired
And I turn and walk away
So hold my hand
Let me take you to a friend of mine
It's waiting just to ease your troubled mind
(Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you'll ever know)
Instead of walking away
Open up
Open up your heart and say (Come on)

I am here
You don't have to worry
I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Hallelujah, you don' ever have to worry
That's what friends are for
You know, here's my shoulder you can lean on me

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
Here's my shoulder you can lean on me
You don't have to worry no more, no no no no no no no
Here's my shoulder you can lean on me
Just call my name and
I'll come running
Oh oh yeah yeah thank you, Jesus
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 could lean on me
Hallelujah
