Sometimes in our lives we all have pain <br />We all have sorrow <br />But if we are wise <br />We know that there's always tomorrow <br /><br />Lean on me, when you're not strong <br />And I'll be your friend <br />I'll help you carry on <br />For it won't be long <br />'Til I'm gonna need <br />Somebody to lean on <br /><br />Please swallow your pride <br />If I have things you need to borrow <br />For no one can fill those of your needs <br />That you don't let show <br /><br />Lean on me, when you're not strong <br />And I'll be your friend <br />I'll help you carry on <br />For it won't be long <br />'Til I'm gonna need <br />Somebody to lean on <br /><br />If there is a load you have to bear <br />That you can't carry <br />I'm right up the road <br />I'll share your load <br />If you just call me <br /><br />So just call on me brother, when you need a hand <br />We all need somebody to lean on <br />I just might have a problem that you'd understand <br />We all need somebody to lean on <br /><br />Lean on me when you're not strong <br />And I'll be your friend <br />I'll help you carry on <br />For it won't be long <br />Till I'm gonna need <br />Somebody to lean on <br /><br />Lean on me...
