Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there’s always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
Lean on me
For it won’t be long
‘Till I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won’t let show

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
Lean on me
For it won’t be long
‘Till I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can’t carry
I’m right up the road
I’ll share your load
If you just call me

Call me, if you need a friend
Call me, if you ever need a friend
