We all have faith, we all have sorrow.
But, if we are wise,
We know that there's always tomorrow.
chours:
Lean on me,
I'll be your friend,
I'll help you carry on
For, it won't be long,
'Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
Please, swallow your pride,
If I have faith 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 someb ody to lean on.
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on.
chours:
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

The lyrics of Fame Academy’s song “Lean on Me” describe a message of support, encouragement and comfort during difficult times. In the first stanza, the singer acknowledges that everyone experiences faith and sorrow in their lifetime. However, the wise know that tomorrow is always another day with new opportunities that can help us overcome our pain. In the chorus, the singer promises to be a friend and help someone carry on when they are not strong. The message indicates that people should not be afraid to ask for help because we all need someone to lean on during difficult times.
The second stanza encourages listeners to swallow their pride and reach out for help when they need it. Often people try to hide their struggles and appear self-sufficient, but no one can fully understand their needs if they do not let others know what those needs are. The singer reassures the listener that they can call on them when they need a hand, highlighting the importance of building a supportive network around oneself. In the final stanza, the singer gives an explicit offer of help to bear a load that is too heavy to carry alone. The song ends with a repeated call to action for the listener to call on the singer if they ever need a friend.
