Lean on Me
Bill Withers 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
'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 won't let show

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

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

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 bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load

If you just call me (call me)
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh (call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)

Numerous cover versions have been recorded, and it is one of only nine songs to have hit #1 with versions recorded by two different artists.

Withers' hardscrabble childhood in the coal mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia was the inspiration for "Lean on Me", which he wrote after he had moved to Los Angeles and found himself missing the strong community ethic of his hometown. He lived in a house that was broken down and was on the poor side of town.

RIP Bill Withers.

I grew up listening to this song with my oldest brother. Good memories of when I was just a little guy.

♥️♥️ Rest easy ♥️♥️

@Antz he was a friend that I met living in a small town where I knew no-one, after moving there a few months prior with my girlfriend of almost 3 years, who ended up leaving abruptly (found out she cheated); I was alone in our house, with our animals, and our shared debts and bills. So yes, for a brief period, I felt quite alone, and this song is something that I remember my friendship with him, as I was losing my shit and struggling at the time when he played it to me.

My favorite moment is 1:55, when the bass plays the tonic note, creating a dissonance with the work "lean", as if the music itself is leaning on the bass for support. As far as I know, no other recording of this song does this. All the rest harmonize "lean" with the expected dominant chord. It's details like these that make this recording magic!

I don’t know you but, and I know this might sound strange, I have so much love for you and your wife. I appreciate all she ever did. I appreciate you for sharing. Whenever I hear this song I cry. Half of it is happy tears, you know what a beautiful message. But the other half is a sadness that I didn’t always have someone to lean on, and many people in the world don’t either. Someone selfless, like your wife. She blessed anyone she ever helped, even little things can make a big difference in someone’s life so try to remember and celebrate even the small selfless deeds she did. Just from that one sentence I can tell she was a wonderful person, not many people I’ve met care about others unconditionally.

Such an incredible soulful voice. When you listen to this song, it seems as if he's talking to you, personally. It makes you feel a bit better. He's singing with the angels now. RIP.

Everytime I play this song, it makes me wanna cry. I say this because I lost my grandpa back in February. And that's the month of my birthday. I really wanted to see him at my graduation ceremony, since I'll be graduating in a couple years. But either way, he meant a lot of me. Rest in peace my friend...🥹🥹🥹

Great song to hear during these tough times and days with CO-VID 19. Kind of ironic that Bill Withers passed away during this pandemic. RIP Bill, you will be missed but your song will live on FOREVER. ❤❤🦋🙏🌷

This is a beautiful song by a beautiful man. As mentioned below it relates to coronavirus perfectly. In the UK I suggest that at 20:00 hours on Thursday 16th April we all sing this this song for everyone who is helping to keep our country functioning.
God bless you Mr. Withers.
