[Verse 1]
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

[Chorus]
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
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
But I know it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
If
There is a load
You have to bare
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
