Lean on Me (Studio Version)

[Current lead singer = Normal, BG/Choir = Italics,
Bono = Bold]

Hoo, hoo
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 / 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 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, I can see your tears, your
tears
I’ll be there in a hurry when you call

Yes I will
Friends are there to catch you when you fall

Here’s my shoulder
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me

Hallelujah
Listen

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

As she hold / holds
His hand / His hand
Prayin’ that someday
The sun will shine again
And the pain?
And the pain will end / Pain will end….

Come on

I am here
You don’t have to worry / You don’t have
to worry
I can see, I see, your tears,
your tears
I’ll be there in a hurry when you call / I’ll
be there in a hurry when you fall
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
/ I’m your friend and I’ll catch you
When, when, when you fall, yeah
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
/ Here’s my shoulder, you can lean
Lean on me

Tell me, how can I, 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
Let me take you to a friend of mine

He’s waiting just to ease your troubled mind
Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you’ll ever know

‘Stead of walking away
Open up
Open up your heart and say
Come on

I am here / I am here
You don’t have to worry
I can see your tears
I’ll be there in a hurry when you call
When you call, friends will be there to catch you
when, catch you when you fall
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
/ Thank you Jesus, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
/ You can lean on me
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
/ Lean on me, yeah, yeah

You’re my friend, but you’re also my brother
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
Hallelujah
