Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain and we've got some sorrows
But if we are wise
We know that there's, there's always a tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, and I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please, swallow your pride
If I have some things that you need to borrow
For no one can fill all of your needs, yeah
That you won't let show
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
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
Now if you need somebody, somebody to hold now
If you need somebody to take you out of the cold
If you need a brother, a promise of the one who says he'll never leave you, no no
Now if you need somebody, somebody to hold now
If you need somebody to take you out of the cold now
If you need a brother, a promise of the one who says he'll never leave you, no no
Now if you need somebody, somebody to hold now
If you need somebody to take you out of the cold now
If you need a brother, a promise of the one who says he'll never leave you, no no
Lean on me when you're not strong
'Cause I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
I'm gonna wait 'til ya
You know I'm gonna be right here
I'm gonna be waiting for you
Don't be afraid to lean, to lean, child
I'm gonna be waiting
Come on, lean on me
