I've been down so long, I've been hurt for so long, There were times I thought I would never see the break of day. It was hard for me,to see your plan for me And I tried to believe surely it won't last always But night after night, (Night after night, Night after night) I pray Lord don't take your joy from me Then late one night I read in your love letter that it's gonna get betta
[Chorus:] Don't cha know that I've been looking for you I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from you
[Verse 2:] And my enimies, tried to come for me And they thought that my world was comin to an end All the while you knew That I would make it throgh I feel closer to you now than when I first began Jesus you are, (Jesus you are, Jesus you are) You are my sun right after the rain Wherever you are I just wanna be near you I'm so glad I can hear you
[Chorus 2x]
Ohoh Ohohoh Ohoh Ohohoh Ohoh Ohohoh Ohoh Ohohoh
Jesus you are, (Jesus you are, Jesus you are) You are my sun right after the rain Wherever you are I just wanna be near you I so glad i found you [Chorus 2x]
[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

[Bono] Prayin' that someday
The sun will shine again
[Kirk] And the pain?
[Choir] And the pain will end

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
Imagine me
loving wat I see when the mirror looksat me cuz I
I imagine me
In a place of no insecurities
And i'm finally happy cuz
I imagine me
Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me
cuz they never did deserve me
can you imagine me
Saying no to thoughts that try to control me
Remembering all you told me
Lord can you imagine me
over what ma mamma said
And healed from what my daddy did
And I wanna live and not read that page again
[Chorus:]
Imagine me, being free, trusting you totally finally I can...
Imagine me
I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me
but finally I can...
Imagine me
Being strong
And not letting people break me down
you won't get that joy this time around can you imagine me
In a world where nobody has t o live afraid
Because of your love fears gone away
Can you imagine me
[Bridge:]
Letting go of my past
And glad to have another chance
And my heart will dance
'Cause I don't have to read that page again
