Verse

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

 'Til I'm gonna need

 Somebody to lean on

Verse

Please swallow your pride

 If I have things

 you need to borrow

For no one can fill

 those of your needs

 That you don't let show

Chorus

Verse

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

So 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

Chorus
