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 wont 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 youll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When youre not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it wont 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 wont 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

If there is a load
You have to bare
That you cant carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just calllll meeeeee
Caaaaaaaallllll meeeeee
If you need a friend
