Lean On Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 your not strong,
and I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on,
For it won't be long 'till I'm Gonna need
somebody to lean on.
Please swallow your pride
if I have pain, you need to borrow
for no one can fill both of your needs
that you wont let show
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
Lean on me when your not strong,
and I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on,
For it won't be long 'till I'm Gonna need
somebody to lean on.
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 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)
If you ever need a friend
(call me)
call me
(call me)
call me
(call me)
call me
(call me)
call me
(call me)
If you ever need a friend
(call me)
call me
(call me)
call me
(call me)
call me
(call me)
call me
(call me)
