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
Someone 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
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
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 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
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'll just call me
Call me, when you need a friend
Call me, call me
And I'll be your friend
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, 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
Someone to lean on
