Heavy burden on your shoulder
Lean on me
Heavy burden on your shoulder
Lean on me
Heavy burden on your shoulder
Everyday just a little bit older
Heavy burden on your shoulder
Lean on me

Down and out without hope
Lean on me
Down and out without hope
Lean on me
Down and out without hope
I'm right here
I'll help you cope
Down and out without hope
Lean on me

Grab a rope and pull me in
But lean on me
Everyday, you'll have a friend
But lean on me, lean on me, lean on me
Grab a rope, pull me in
Everyday you'll have a friend
Grab a rope

When the world's blocked away
And if you're looking
For a rainy day, friend
Well, grab a rope, pull me in
Lean on me

Heavy burden, cloudy skies
Well, lean on me
Well, I'll be the towel for weeping eyes
But lean on me

If it always feels like rain
All you've got in life is pain
Heavy burden, go away
Goodbye, goodbye
Heavy burden on your shoulder
Lean on me
Lean on me, lean on me brother
On your shoulder, lean on me
