Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me!

For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please! (please)
Swallow your pride (pride)

You need to borrow

Those of your needs

The song "Lean on Me" speaks to the human desire for connection and support. The lyrics acknowledge that we all experience pain and sorrow in life, but that we can find solace and strength in the company of others. The choruses encourage listeners to ask for help when they need it, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. It is through reaching out to each other that we can build a supportive community.
The verses delve deeper into the idea of vulnerability and the difficulty of expressing one's needs. The lyrics suggest that sometimes we hide our pain or pride gets in the way of asking for help. But the chorus provides a counterpoint to this, suggesting that leaning on friends and loved ones is necessary for both emotional and physical survival.
Overall, "Lean on Me" is a tribute to the power of human connection and the importance of reaching out to one another during dark times.
