Bill Withers











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 'til 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 don't let show.







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.














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'll 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.














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.







Lean on me.
