Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's

Always tomorrow

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Lean on me

When you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you to carry on

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

And if there

There is a load

That you have to bear

That you can't carry

Oh, I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me

[Verse 8]

Oh call me

When you need a friend

Call me

When you need a hand

Call me

Call me

[Verse 9]

Call me

Call me

Call me

Call me
