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!

And I'll be your friend

For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please! (please)
Swallow your pride (pride)
If I have things
You need to borrow

Those of your needs
That you wont let show

So just call (call) on me brother (hey)

I've been so caught up in Olivia's album helping me through tough times that this interview made me realize how much negative impact it had too and what damage it did. It's so sad that society needs so sensationalize the poor people's life. I have so much respect for Joshua, his courage and his strength.

@ikooyou

@gabrielaguerreromendez1972
