Lyrics

There's a (C7sus)man

(F)standing on the corner;

he has no (G)home,

he (Bbm6)has no food,

and (F)his blue skies are gone.

Can't (Gm7)you (F)hear him (Bb)crying (C7sus)out?

And (F)there's a (C7sus)girl

(F)searching for a father and a friend,

(Gdim)praying that the storm someday will end.

(Gm7)But, instead of (F)walking away,

(Gm7)open up your heart and say:

(F)I am here,

you don't have to worry.

I can see your (C7sus)tears,

I'll (F)be there in a hurry when you call.

(Bbm6)Friends are there to catch you when you fall.

(Gm7)Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me.

(F)There's a child who is sick and begging to be free,

(Bbm6)but there is no cure for his disease.

He looks up to his (Bb)mother (C7sus)as she holds his hand,

(F)praying that someday the sun (G)will shine again,

(Bbm6)and the (Bbmaj7)pain will end.

(Gm7)Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me.

Tell me, (C)how can I, how can (A)I love Jesus when I've (Dm)never seen His face,

(C)yet, I see you (A)dying and I turn and walk away?

(F)So, hold my hand.

Let me take you to a

Friend of mine.

He's (Bbm6)waiting just to ease your troubled mind.

(F)Instead of (Bb)walking away, open up your heart and say:

(C)I am here,

you don't have to worry.

I can see your (G7sus)tears,

I'll (C)be there in a hurry when you call.

(Fm6)Friends are there to catch you when you fall.

(Dm7)Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me.

(F)Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me.

(F)Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me.

(F)Here's my (C)shoulder,

(Dm7)you can (F)lean on (C)me.
