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 there are 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
I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
(We all need somebody)
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
I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Somebody to lean on
