Lean On Me
Al Jarreau Lyrics

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
Life can be tough and painful for everyone, no one is exempted from experiencing difficulties.

We all have sorrow
At some point in our lives, we all get to experience grief, sadness, and heartbreak.

But if we are wise
If we have the ability to understand and appreciate the situation, then we can use that wisdom to better navigate through life.

We know that there's always tomorrow
There will always be another day, another chance, another opportunity to do better or to make things right.

Lean on me, when you're not strong
When you feel weak, vulnerable, and powerless, you can rely on me for support, guidance, and comfort.

And I'll be your friend
I will be your ally, confidant, and companion, someone you can trust and depend on.

I'll help you carry on
I will assist you in persevering and moving forward, even when life is challenging and unpredictable.

For it won't be long
It won't last forever, eventually, things will get better and easier.

'Til I'm gonna need
Until I find myself in a similar situation where I might need your help and support.

Somebody to lean on
Someone to rely on, someone to turn to in a time of need.

Please swallow your pride
Don't let your ego get in the way of asking for help or support when you need it.

If I have things you need to borrow
If I have something you need, don't hesitate to ask, that's what friends are for.

For no one can fill those of your needs
There are some needs that only you can fulfill, some issues that only you can resolve, and it's important to recognize and address them.

That you don't let show
Sometimes we keep our issues to ourselves, and don't share them with others, but it's important to open up and ask for help when needed.

If there is a load you have to bear
If you're carrying a heavy burden, a responsibility, or a challenge that's overwhelming, stressful, or exhausting.

That you can't carry
If you feel like you're under too much pressure and can't handle it on your own.

I'm right up the road
I'm close by, nearby, just a phone call away.

I'll share your load
I'll help you carry the weight, the problem, the challenge, or the stress that's bothering you.

If you just call me
All you have to do is ask for my help, and I'll be there for you.

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
Whenever you need my help, my assistance, my guidance, or my support, just give me a call, and I'll be there for you.

We all need somebody to lean on
No one can thrive or survive alone, we all need someone to rely on, someone to support us, someone to share our joys and sorrows with.

I just might have a problem that you'd understand
Maybe I'm going through a tough time, and I need someone to talk to or to seek advice from, and you might be the best person to help me.

Till I'm gonna need
Until I find myself in a position where I need help or support from someone else.

Somebody to lean on
Someone who can offer me help, guidance, reassurance, or comfort when I'm struggling with something difficult or challenging.

Lean on me when you're not strong
When you're feeling weak, broken, or helpless, you can count on me to be there for you and to offer you a helping hand.
