Mary J. Blige Lyrics
"Lean On Me"

This is for the little child with no father
For that man that doesn't have a place to stay (ohhh)
And for that little boy with aids
(Gonna tell your story tell your 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 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 (there's a child) who is sick and begging to be free
(Whoa) But there is no cure to his disease
He looks up to his mother as

She holds (holds) his hand (his hand)
Praying that someday the sun will shine again
(And the pain?) And the pain, (the pain will end) 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 (ill be there) when you call (in a hurry when you fall)
Friends are there (I'm your friend) to catch you (and ill catch you when you fall) when you fall
Here's my shoulder (here's my shoulder, you can lean on me) you can lean on me (lean on me yeah)

Tell me how can I, how can I love Jesus
When I never see 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, he loves you more than you'll ever know)
Instead of walking away open up
Open up your heart and say

(c'mon) I am here (I am here)
You don't have to worry; I can see your tears
(You can lean on me)
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friend's will be there to catch you when
Catch you when you fall

Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

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!
