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

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

You can 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

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
