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
I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
call on me brother
you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
might have a problem
that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things
you need to borrow
For no one can feel
Those of your needs
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
I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
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
I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
call on me brother
you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
might have a problem
you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
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
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
call on me brother
you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
might have a problem
you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
you have to bear
that you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
if you just call me
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
I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
