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 to carry on,
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.

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.

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 to carry on,
for it won't be long,
till 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.

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.

Just call me
when you need a friend,
call me when you need a friend.
