Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
[Chorus]
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
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You can 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
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
[Chorus]
If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
If you just call me, call me
If you need a friend, call me
If you need a friend
If you ever need a friend
Call me
Call me
