Lean on me


There's a man 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 friend

praying that the storm someday will end

but instead of walking away

open up your heart and say

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 she holds his hands

prayin that someday, the sun will shine again

and the pain will end

tell me how can I, how can I love Jesus

when i've never seen his face

yeah I've seen you dying, I won't 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

here's my shoulder

you can lean on me
