Lean On Me
2 4 Family Lyrics

Sometimes in my life (sometimes)
There are times in life when we face difficult situations and challenges.

We all have pain (yeah)
Everyone experiences problems and suffering.

We all have sorrow (say what, say what)
All of us feel sadness at some point in our lives.

But, If we are wise (we are wise)
Being intelligent means understanding how to deal with difficult times.

We know that place (yeah, yeah)
We realize the existence of dark places in our lives.

Always tomorrow
There is always another day to make things better.

Lean on me
Rely on me.

Can you hear me now?
Are you listening to me?

2-4 Family!
The name of the band.

Uh, depend on me
Trust me and rely on me to help you through tough times.

I thought I heard you saying that you've got hard times,
I heard that you're going through tough times.

So If you feel that way, why don't you drop me a line,
If you feel that way, why don't you reach out to me?

'cause I'll be there to lend you a shoulder to cry on
I'll be there for you emotionally when you need someone to talk to.

A tru blue, the type of family member that you can rely on
I'm a trustworthy, dependable family member you can always count on.

Fly on, and hold up your head, open up your years and
Keep moving forward, hold your head high, and stay attentive.

Listen up to what the Dred said
Pay attention to what I'm saying because it's important.

That, it's the only way your hope is, If you're still alive,
The only way to keep hope alive is to keep living and moving forward.

Then you need to take yourself thru this
You're the only one who can make it through this difficult time.

If there is a load (say what),You have to bare (yeah)
If you have a burden to carry,

That you can cary (I got your back time)
I can help share that burden with you.

I right up the road (right up the road yo)
I'm nearby.

I'll share your load (yeah, yeah),If you just call me (so just call me)
I'll help you carry your burden if you ask me for help.

What you goin thru think I wouldn't understand
I can relate to what you're going through, and I won't judge you.

Was there for you when you lost your man
I was there for you when you lost someone important to you.

Payed the cause for you false, payed the way to save the day
I paid for things you needed or helped out with financial troubles to help you get back on track.

So who's the friend and who's the fo', In the end it always shows
It becomes clear who your real friends are when difficult situations arise.

And even tho I gave you tho' when you was dead broke,
I helped you when you had no money.

I pasted, brushed you hear when you had nowhere to go
I stayed close to you and helped you when you had no other options.

Never asked for a penny in return so,
I never expected anything in return for helping you.

When it's cold (that's right) , zero below, I'll be your hero!
I'll be your hero and help you through whatever tough times come your way.

Lean on me, when you're not strong (when you're not strong),
Rely on me when you are feeling weak and unable to carry on alone.

And I'll be your friend,I'll help you carry on (so carry on, carry on)
I'll be there for you, and I'll help you keep going no matter what.

For, it won't be long, 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Someday, I may need someone to lean on too.

Ooooh, If you carry on
If you keep going and don't give up,

I'll be your friend to the very end
I'll be your friend and support you until the very end.

If there is a load, (say what)
If you have a burden to carry, (you can lean on me)

You have to bare (yeah)
You have to carry it alone.

So just call, call me brother, when you need a hand
Just call me whenever you need my help.

We all need somebody to lean on
Everyone needs help from other people sometimes.

I just might have a problem, that you don't understand
I might be going through something hard that you don't know about.

Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend,I'll help you carry on (so carry on, so carry on)
Lean on me when you're feeling weak, and I'll be there to help you keep going.
