R. Kelly - Lean on Me lyrics

[Intro: Kirk Franklin] 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 [R. Kelly] Can I tell you a story, tell you a story [Kirk] 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 cryin' 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 walking away Open up your heart and say [Hook: Choir] I, am here You don't have to worry I can see, your tears I'll be there in a hurry when you call [Choir] Friends are there to catch you when you fall [Choir] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me [Verse 3: Mary J. Blige] 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 [Verse 4: Choir/Bono/Kirk Franklin] [Choir] As she holds, his hand [Bono] Praying that someday The sun will shine again [Kirk] And the pain? [Choir] And the pain, will end [Kirk] Pain will end (come on) [Chorus w/ Mary J. Blige ad-libs) [Bridge: R. Kelly/Bono/Crystal Lewis/Kirk Franklin/Mary J. Blige] [R. Kelly] Tell me, how can I, how can I love Jesus When I've never seen His face? [Bono] Yeah, I see you dying [Crystal Lewis] And I turn and walk away [Crystal] So hold my hand [Bono] Let me take you to a friend of mine [R. Kelly] He's waiting just to ease your troubled mind [Kirk] Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you'll ever know [Bono] 'Stead of walking away [Kirk] Open up [Crystal Lewis] Open up your heart and say [Kirk] Come on [Hook: R. Kelly, Kirk Franklin, Tamila Mann, Dalon Collins ad-libs]
