Lean On Me
Daniel Razon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 don't let show
So 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'd 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
So 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'd 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, call me, call me, call me)
If you need a friend (Call me, call me, call me, call me)
If you call me
Lean on me, when you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody...
...body to lean on
You can lean on me




If you need a friend, you can lean on me
If you need a friend, you can call me
