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

For it won't be long

'Til 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 don't let show



Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna 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



So 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'd 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

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on



Lean on me...
