Lean On Me
Crystal Gayle Lyrics

Sometimes in our lives
Life is unpredictable and we all face difficult times.

We all have pain
No one is immune to hardship and suffering.

We all have sorrow
Difficulties, sadness and grief are all a part of life.

But if we are wise
If we are able to stay positive and have hope for the future,

We know that there's always tomorrow
We can look forward to and prepare for better times ahead.

Lean on me, when you're not strong
When you feel overwhelmed and unable to cope, you can rely on me for support.

And I'll be your friend
I will stand by you and be there for you as a true friend.

I'll help you carry on
I will do everything I can to help you get through this difficult time.

For it won't be long
This difficult time will eventually pass.

'Til I'm gonna need
At some point, I may also need help and support.

Somebody to lean on
I, like everyone else, need someone to lean on during difficult times.

Please swallow your pride
Don't let your pride get in the way of asking for help.

If I have things you need to borrow
If there is something you need that I can provide, don't hesitate to ask.

For no one can fill those of your needs
There are certain things only you can take care of for yourself.

That you won't let show
Don't be afraid to open up and show vulnerability when you need to.

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
Don't hesitate to reach out to me for help and support, brother.

We all need somebody to lean on
We are all human and we all need the support of others at times.

I just might have a problem that you'd understand
I too have faced problems and difficulties that you may be able to relate to.

[Chorus]
Repeats the main message of the song's title and chorus.

If there is a load you have to bear
If there is a burden or challenge you are struggling with,

That you can't carry
If it is too difficult for you to handle on your own,

I'm right up the road
I am nearby and willing to help.

I'll share your load
I am willing to take some of the burden off your shoulders and help carry it with you.

If you just call me
All you need to do is reach out and ask for my help.

Call me (if you need a friend)
Repeats the message that I am here for you if you need me.

Call me (call me)
Repeats the call to action to reach out and ask for help.

Call me (if you need a friend)
Repeats the message that I am here to offer friendship and support.

Call me (if you ever need a friend)
Reinforces the message that I am always available as a friend and ally.

Call me (call me)
Repeats the call to action to reach out for help when needed.

Call me
Reinforces the message that I am available and willing to help and support you.

Call me (if you need a friend)
Repeats the message that I am here for you if you need me.
