Lean on Me
guitar chords lyrics
[bono] oooooohhh
[kirk] 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
[r. kelly] there's a man (oh yes)
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
[crystal lewis] and there's a girl
searching for a father and a friend
praying that the storm someday will end
[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
[chorus:]
[choir] i am here
you don't have to worry
i can see...
[kirk] i can see your tears
[choir] ...your tears
i'll be there in a hurry when you call

[mary j. blige] oh, there's a child
who is sick and begging to be free
but there is no cure for his disease

the sun will shine again
[kirk] and the pain?
