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
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You
Swallow your pride
If I have faith
You need to borrow

For no one can heed
Those of your needs
That you won't let show
Ya just call on me brother

If 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

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Ya just call on me brother
If 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
For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Ya just call on me brother
If 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 bare

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
