[Verse 1]
In times like these
We need to be strong
We need to carry on
We need to get along, hold on
And right what's wrong
In times like these
We need to find a way
To make a better day
Keep my feet on the ground turning 'round
Come what may

[Chorus]
Everybody
Everybody needs someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone
(Everybody) Everybody
(Everybody) Everybody needs someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone now

[Verse 2]
In times like these
There's no one not to care, no
There's no one anywhere
Who doesn't feel it in their hearts
Gotta make a new start, y'all
In times like these
Let the world understand
Together hand in hand
Every woman, child, and man
United we stand
[Chorus]
Everybody
Everybody needs someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone
Everybody
Everybody needs someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone

[Bridge]
Everybody needs something
Everybody needs someone
Everybody has a friend of a friend who knew a friend of a friend
Who's got a friend of a friend
Everybody needs something (Yeah)
Everybody needs someone (Oh yeah)
Everybody has a friend of a friend who knew a friend of a friend
Who's got a friend of a friend

[Outro]
Everybody needs something (Everybody)
Everybody needs someone (Everybody)
Everybody has a friend of a friend who knew a friend of a friend
Who's got a friend of a friend (Everybody)
Everybody needs something (Everybody needs someone)
Everybody needs someone (Everybody needs someone)
Everybody has a friend of a friend who knew a friend of a friend
Who's got a friend of a friend (A friend, y'all)
Everybody needs something
Everybody needs someone
Everybody has a friend of a friend who knew a friend of a friend
Who's got a friend of a friend
Everybody needs something
Everybody needs someone
