Lean On Me
Raven-Symoné Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes in our life
We all have have pain
We all have sorrows

But if we are wise
We know that
There's always tomorrow
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And ill be your friend
Ill help you carry on
For it wont be long
Till im gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please
Swallow your pride
If i have faith
You need to borrow
For no one can feel
The times of your need
That you wont let show

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 ill be your friend
Ill help you carry on
For it wont be long
Till im gonna need
Somebody to lean on

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 bare
That you cant carry
Im right up the road




And ill share your load
If you just call me
