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 yeah)
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 crying out

[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..
....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

[Kirk] hallelujah
[Mary j. blige] ooooohhhhh
[Kirk] listen

[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

[Choir] as she hold (holds), his hand (his hand)
[Bono] prayin' that someday
The sun will shine again
[Kirk] and the pain?
[Choir] and the pain will end
[Kirk] pain will end....come on

[Choir] I am here
[Mary j. blige] I am here
You don't have to worry
[Mary j. blige] you don't have to worry
I can see..
[Mary j. blige] I see..
....Your tears
[Mary j. blige] ....your tears, yeah
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
[Mary j. blige] I'll be there in a hurry when you fall
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
[Mary j. blige] I'm your friend and I'll catch you when, when, when you fall yea yea yea
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Mary j. blige] here's my shoulder, you can lean on me yea

[Bridge:]
[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
So hold my hand

[Mary j. blige] oooooohhhhh
[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

[Chorus:]
[Choir] I am here
[R. kelly] I am here
[Choir] you don't have to worry
I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
[Kirk] hallelujah
[Choir] aaaaaaah
[Tamila mann - family] when you call, friends will be there to catch you when, catch you when you fall
[Choir] here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Dalon collins - family] thank you jesus, yeah
