Based in New York, Melba Moore first attracted attention in the Broadway production of Hair. Although she has continued her thespian inclinations, winning an award for her performance in the musical Purlie, Moore has also forged a successful singing career. 'This Is It', a minor US hit, reached the UK Top 10 in 1976, and although her pop chart placings have since been inconsistent, Moore remained a fixture on the R&B lists over the following decade. In 2010, Moore collaborated with producer Jimmy D Robinson on several Club/Dance singles. These singles are "Soul Freak", "Stop It", "Night Creatures", "One More Chance", "In The Fire", and "Moonchild." All of the singles have been released on MP3 Download format.

Lean On Me
Melba Moore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just let me walk
This road of life with you
Step by step, uphill or down
No matter where it's leading to

Reach out and take my hand
If you should find a hill along the way too steep to climb
(Lean on me) Lean on me

I'll never let you fall
(Lean on me) Lean on me
I'll keep you standing tall

Oh, somehow together we'll make it
Please let me dream

The dreams that you're dreamin' of
Whether big or small
All together we could make them all come true
My love

You can dream the impossible with all your heart
But if you find that your dreams are falling all apart
(Lean on me) Lean on me
Never let you fall
(Lean on me) Lean on me
Keep you standing tall

Oh, somehow together we'll make it

Oh... oh... ho... dream the impossible with all your heart
But if you find that your dreams keep on falling all apart
(Lean on me) Come on and lean on me, my darlin'
I will never let you fall, ooh...
(Lean on me) Lean on me, I kept help it
Keep you standing tall

Oh, somehow together we'll make it
Somehow together we'll make it
Ooh, we gonna make it together
Oh... oh... oh... gonna make it together
I know that we gonna make it, yeah, yeah, yeah, together
I got to believe, gonna make it, oh, oh, oh, oh, together
Hey... hey... make it
Make it, make it, make it, make it if you lean on me
Oh, make it

Make it, make it, make it, make it if you lean on me
Oh... said make... it

Overall Meaning

The song "Lean on Me" by Melba Moore is a touching track that is all about companionship and support in life. The song is a call for constant support and companionship from a loved one, committing to walking the path of life together step by step, no matter what challenges will arise. The first verse sets the tone by requesting for someone to share the ups and downs of life, emphasizing the commitment to walk the road of life together. In the chorus, the singer pledges to always be there for the person, to lean on her without fear of falling or failing. The second verse takes on larger dreams, encouraging the listener to dream big because together they can achieve all of those dreams. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the promise of support and steadfastness that the singer offers.

The lyrics of the song accurately reflect the human desire for a close and supportive relationship. Countless people encounter trying situations in their lives, be it financial hardship, personal issues, or emotional crises. In such times of distress, having someone to lean on can be incredibly meaningful and vital. While the song speaks about the romantic ideal of a significant other to lean on, it can also be applicable to any close relationship, whether it be between friends, family members, or even colleagues. The song emphasizes how companionship and support can allow individuals to conquer the impossible together, which is the heart of the song's message.

I never understood why Melba Moore, Stephanie Mills and Oleta Adams never got as big as another one of my favorite singers, Whitney Houston. These women are power singers and have very distinct voices. No one gets a song over like them. I love Melba's voice and she still has it.

@kassimrayford7163

Unfortunately it's the catalog. Most of the more successful superior vocalists had more pop songs and hits and what not. Even though the vocals should be the reason for the success it's more about the catalog.

That is one of my mother's favorite songs. It came out the year I was born. It's her song to me. She introduced me to it like 2 years ago. I had never heard it before. She's still alive, thank God. But when I listen to the song, even on a good happy day, it's gets me very emotional. But I do like the song a lot. The words... and of course Melba Mpore's vocals.

No matter where I go, no matter what I do, no matter what happens, good or bad, I KNOW there is a God. This song and Melba's voice hasn't gotten me through it all. There is no other like you. This is it. Melba Moore. Lean On Me.

Used to be my mama's and oldest sister's song when I was about 9 years old. But now, this is my song, and I love this song. It's taken from the 1976 album "This Is It".
