Song lyrics
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 
'till 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 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'll understand 
we all need somebody to lean on! 

[sing following chorus higher] 

Lean on me 
when you're not strong 
I'll be your friend 
I'll help you carry on 
for it wont be long 
'till 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 bare 
that you can't carry 
I'm right up the road 
I'll share your load 
if you just call me 

Won't you just call me? 
If you need a friend 
Call me 
Call me uh-uh 
Call me 
If you need a friend 
Call me 
Call me 
If you ever need a friend 
Call me 
Call me! 
Call me 
Call me 
Call me 
If you ever need a friend 
Call me 
Call me 
Call me 
Call me 
You know you need a friend 
Call me! [fade out]
