[Intro:] [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
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 [Kirk] Yes I will [Choir] Friends are there to catch you when you fall [Kirk] Here's my shoulder [Choir] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[Kirk] halleluia [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 (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 [Choir] You don't have to worry [Mary J. Blige] You don't have to worry [Choir] I can see... [Mary J. Blige] I see... [Choir] ....your tears [Mary J. Blige] ....your tears, yeah [Choir] I'll be there in a hurry when you call [Mary J. Blige] I'll be there in a hurry when you call [Choir] 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 [Choir] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me [Mary J. Blige] Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me
[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
[Crystal] 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]
