Lyrics:

Sometimes in my life (sometimes)
We all have pain (yeah)
We all have sorrow (say what, say what)
But, If we are wise (we are wise)
We know that place (yeah, yeah)
Always tomorrow

Lean on me
Can you hear me now?
2-4 Family!
Lean on me
Uh, depend on me

Jazz:
I thought I heard you saying that you've got hard times,
So If you feel that way, why don't you drop me a line,
'cause I'll be there to lend you a shoulder to cry on
A tru blue, the type of family member that you can rely on
Fly on, and hold up your head, open up your years and
Listen up to what the Dred said
That, it's the only way your hope is, If you're still alive,
Then you need to take yourself thru this

Chorus:
Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend,I'll help you carry on (I'll be your friend to the very end)
For, it won't be long, 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Can you hear me now?

J.D.:
If there is a load (say what),You have to bare (yeah)
That you can cary (I got your back time)
I right up the road (right up the road yo)
I'll share your load (yeah, yeah),If you just call me (so just call me)

Essie:
What you goin thru think I wouldn't understand
Was there for you when you lost your man
Payed the cause for you false, payed the way to save the day
So who's the friend and who's the fo', In the end it always shows
And even tho I gave you tho' when you was dead broke,
I pasted, brushed you hear when you had nowhere to go
Never asked for a penny in return so,
When it's cold (that's right) , zero below, I'll be your hero!

Chorus:
Lean on me, when you're not strong (when you're not strong),
And I'll be your friend,I'll help you carry on (so carry on, carry on)
For, it won't be long, 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Ooooh, If you carry on
I'll be your friend to the very end
Can you hear me now?
2 to the 4!

Bridge:
So just call, call me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem, that you don't 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 (so carry on, so carry on)
For, it won't be long, 'til I'm gonna need (I'm gonna 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, 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
