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
'Til 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 carry on for
It won't be long
For 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
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

You can Lean on me
You can call on me
