Lyrics
(F)There’s a (C7sus)man (F)stand ing on the cor ner; 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)cry ing out?
And there’s a girl (F)search ing for a fa ther and a friend, (Gdim)pray ing that the storm some day will end.
(Gm7)But, in stead of (F)walk ing a way, (Gm7)o pen up your heart and say: (F)I am here, (F)you don’t have to wor ry.
I can see your tears, I’ll (F)be there in a hur ry when you call.
(Bbm6)Friends are there to catch you when you fall.
(Gm7)Here’s my shoul der, you can lean on me.
(F)There’s a child (F)who is sick and beg ging to be free, (Bbm6)but there is no cure for his dis ease.
He looks up to his moth (Bb)er (C7sus)as she holds his hand,
pray ing that some day the sun (G)will shine a gain,
and the (Bbmaj7)pain will end.
(Gm7)Here’s my shoul der, you can lean on me.
Tell me, (C)how can I, how can (A)I love Je sus when I’ve (Dm)nev er seen His face,
yet, I see you (A)dy ing and I turn and walk a way?
So, hold my hand.
Let me take you to a Friend of mine.
He’s (Bbm6)wait ing just to ease your trou bled mind.
In stead of (Bb)walk ing a way, (Bb)o pen up your heart and say:
(C)I am here, (C)you don’t have to wor ry.
I can see your tears, I’ll (C)be there in a hur ry when you call.
(Fm6)Friends are there to catch you when you fall.
(Dm7)Here’s my shoul der, you can lean on me.
(F)Here’s my shoul der, you can lean on me.
(F)Here’s my shoul der, you can lean on me.
Here’s my (C)shoul der, you can (F)lean on (C)me.
