Sometimes, in our lives 
We all have pain, we all have sorrow 
But, if we are wise 
We know that there's always tomorrow 
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 borrow 
For no one can fill 
Those of your needs that you won't let show 
You 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'll understand 
We all 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 
You 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'll understand 
We all need somebody to lean on 
If there is a load 
You have to bear, that you can't carry 
I'm right up the road 
I'll share your load if you just call me 
Call me if you need a friend 
Call me…
