Lean On Me Lyrics

Sometimes in life
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
We all have shame
But if we are wise
Then we all know
That there's always a tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
It might not be long
'Til I might need
Somebody to lean on

If you got a load
That you can't bear
No one's concerned
Nobody cares
Well, I'll lighten up your load
If you just let me know
All you got to do is call me

Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
It might not be long
'Til I might need
Somebody to lean on
Said lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
It might not be long
'Til I might need
Somebody to lean on

Now if you got a problem
I'll understand
And if there's somethin' you need
I'll give you a hand
But I can't fill
Your wants or your needs
If you don't let me know

You got t'lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
It might not be long
'Til I might need
Somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
It might not be long
'Til I might need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me
If you're not strong, I tell ya
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
It might not be long
'Til I might need
Somebody to lean on
