Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sor-row
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomor-row

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

Please swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to bor-row
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you don't let show

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

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't car-ry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
