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
Standing on the corner with 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 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 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
No matter what you're facing
No matter your circumstance
Listen
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 his hand
Praying that someday
The sun will shine again
And the pain will end
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
Tell me how can I love Jesus
When I've never seen His face
Yeah, I see you dying
And I turn and walk away
So hold my hand yeah
Let me take you to a friend of mine
He's waiting just to ease your troubled mine
But instead of walking away
Open up your heart and say
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
