Lean On Me
Kevin McHale Lyrics

Sometimes in our lives
At times, we experience hardships in life

We all have pain
Every one of us faces emotional or physical pain

We all have sorrow
All of us encounter grief or sadness

But if we are wise
However, if we are smart

We know that there's always tomorrow
We realize that there are better days to come

Lean on me!
Requesting us to take their support

When you're not strong
When you are not feeling your best

And I'll be your friend
They're willing to be there for us as a good friend

I'll help you carry on
They will assist us in moving forward

For it won't be long
Because it won't take long

'Til I'm gonna need
Until they need

Somebody to lean on
Someone to rely on

Please! (please)
As a request, pleaded with us

Swallow your pride (pride)
We should overcome our ego

If I have things
If there is something that I possess

You need to borrow
If it is something that you require as assistance

(For) for no one can fill
Since no-one else can substitute or replace it

Those of your needs
The things that you need

That you wont let show
That you're hesitant to reveal to others

So just call (call) on me brother (hey)
So, ask for help from me, my friend

When you need a hand (When you need a hand)
Whenever you require someone to offer their support

We all need (need) somebody to lean on!
Everybody requires others' support at different stages of their life

(I just might have a problem)
They might be facing a problem

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
The problem that they're facing, perhaps we can relate to it

Lean on me (hey)
They want us to rely on them

And I'll help you carry on (help you carry on)
They intend on assisting us in moving forward

For it won't be long (oh it won't be long)
It won't take much time

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Until they require someone else's aid

(Just lean on me) you just call on me brother (hey)
They will be there for us whenever we need them

(when you need a hand)
When we're in a situation requiring help

(I just might)
They hint towards the possibility of something occurring to them

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
A problem they might be having that we could relate to

(Oh) lean on me
Requesting us to rely on them

If (if)
Suppose that

There is a load! (there is a load)
If there is a burden that we have to bear

You have to bare (you have to bare)
We have to carry it ourselves

That you can't carry
If it's too much to carry by ourselves

I'm (I'm higher) right up the road
They're nearby and available to offer their aid

I'll share your load
They're willing to assist us in carrying the burden

Call me (I'm calling)
Asking us to reach out to them when we need help

Call me (when you need a friend)
Requesting us to contact them when we require a friend

Call me (call me)
Asking us to call them

Call me (call me) (when you need a friend)
Repeating the request for us to contact them when in need of a friend

Call me (when you need a friend)
Requesting us to call them when we require their friendship

Call me (if you need a friend)
If we're in need of a friend, they want us to give them a call

Call me (any time of day)
They're available to help anytime we need them

Call me (Ooh)
Asking us again to contact them

It won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on, lean on, lean on
They will require our support soon

Lean on lean on lean on me (when you need a friend)
They want us to lean on them when we need a friend

Lean on lean on lean on me lean on me
They want us to rely on them

You can lean on me
They assure us that we can rely on them

I'm gonna need (somebody) somebody to lean on
Soon, they will require someone to offer their support.

I'm gonna need somebody to lean on (somebody to lean on)
They'll need someone to rely on soon.
