Lean On Me

Let me walk this road of life with you
Step by step, uphill or down
No matter where it’s leading to
Reach out and take my hand
If you should find a hill along the way too steep to climb
Lean on me, I’ll never let you fall
Oh, lean on me, I’ll keep you standing tall
Ooooh (together we’ll make it)
Mmmm (together we’ll make it)
Let me dream the dreams that you dream of
Big or small, together we could make them all come true, my love
Dream, dream the impossible with all of your heart
But if you look around and find that dreams are falling apart
Lean on me, I ain’t gonna let you fall
Ooh, eh, lean on me, I’ll keep you standing tall
Yes I will, ooh, hear me now (together we’ll make it)
Hear me now (together we’ll make it)
Yes we will
Hear me darling, take my hand if you should find
A hill along the way too steep to climb
Ooh, lean on me baby, I’ll never let you fall
Ooh, ooh, ooh, lean on me, I’ll keep you standing tall
Oooh (together we’ll make it)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (yes we will, yes we will, yes we will)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (together we’ll make it)
Together we’ll make it, baby (yes we will, yes we will, yes we will)
Yes we will, yes we will (baby we’ll make it)
Right on, right on, right on (yes we will, yes we will, yes we will)
Right on, yes we will, now (baby we’ll make it)
People knows we’re gonna found (yes we will, yes we will, yes we will)
Because because (together we’ll make it)
Together we gonna make it (yes we will, yes we will, yes we will)
Yeah, yea-ea-ea-eah
