Sometimes in our life
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow
Please swallow your pride
If I have faith
You need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show
Just call on me brother
If 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
Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
So if we'll be long
I'm gonna need
Somebody
To lean on
Just call on me brother
If 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
Call me
I want you to call me
I want you to call me
Oh please call me
You got to, got to call me
You carry that load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up that road
I share your load
You have to bear that you can't carry
If you just call on me
Show when you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
I'm gonna need
Somebody
To lean on
I'll see you next time.
