“Lean on Me,” Lyrics

Lean on Me
by Bill Withers

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Call me
If you need a friend.
Call me…
