[Verse 1]
Sometimes in our lives
We all have fate, 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
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

[Verse 2]
Please swallow your pride
If there are things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you wont let show

[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
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

[Bridge]
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand (We all need somebody)
I just might have a problem
That you'd understand (We all need somebody)
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand (We all need somebody)
I just might have a problem
That you'd 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 for it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Somebody to lean on
