Sometimes in our live, we all have pain We all have sorrows, but if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow Lean on me (can you hear me now) 2-4 Family Lean on me (depend on me) I thought I heard you saying That you've got hard times 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 I'm true blue the type of family member That you can rely on Fly on and hold up your head Open up your ears and listen up To what the dread said Dead is the only way you're hopeless You're still alive So you need to take the time to scope 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 Till I'm gonna need somebody To lean on (can you hear me now) If thereis a load, you have to bear That you can't carry I'm right up the road I share your load, if you just call me What ya going through, think I wouldn't understand Was there for you when you lost your man Paid the costs for your faults Paved the way to save the day So who's the friend and who's the foe In the end it always shows And even though, I gave you doe When you was dead broke A place to rest you head When you had nowhere to go Never asked for a penny in return so When it's cold, zero below I'll be your hero Chorus Ooh ooh (help you carry on) (I'll be your friend to the very end) (Can you hear me now) (Two to the four) So 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'd understand We all need somebody to lean on Chorus (2x)
