[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 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
