Lean on Me
Embracing Strength in Shared Moments of Need
Lyrics
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
Sometimes in our lives, we all experience pain.
We all have sorrow
We all face moments of sorrow.
But if we are wise
Wisdom teaches us to recognize the prospect of a brighter future.
We know that there's always tomorrow
Understanding that there is always hope and another day ahead.
Lean on me, when you're not strong
Encouragement to lean on the speaker when feeling weak or vulnerable.
And I'll be your friend
The speaker pledges to be a friend and provide support.
I'll help you carry on
Offering assistance to help overcome challenges.
For it won't be long
Assurance that the difficult times will not last for an extended period.
Till I'm gonna need
Anticipation of the speaker's future need for support.
Somebody to lean on
Expressing the reciprocal nature of friendship and support.
Please swallow your pride
A plea to set aside pride and ask for help when needed.
If I have things you need to borrow
Offering assistance and resources if the listener requires them.
For no one can fill those of your needs
A reminder that some needs may be hidden and should be communicated.
That you don't let show
Emphasizing the importance of opening up and expressing vulnerabilities.
Lean on me, when you're not strong
Reiterating the availability of support when feeling emotionally or physically weak.
And I'll be your friend
Restating the commitment to friendship and assistance.
I'll help you carry on
Continued assurance of helping to carry the burden.
For it won't be long
Reaffirmation that challenging times will pass relatively quickly.
Till I'm gonna need
A reminder of the inevitable moments when the speaker will also require support.
Somebody to lean on
Highlighting the mutual dependence on each other for strength.
If there is a load you have to bear
Addressing the existence of burdens that one cannot carry alone.
That you can't carry
Offering proximity and willingness to share the load.
I'm right up the road
Indicating the speaker's closeness and accessibility.
I'll share your load
Promising to help bear the weight of the listener's challenges.
If you just call me
Encouraging the listener to seek support by reaching out.
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
Extending support and assistance to a brother in need.
We all need somebody to lean on
Emphasizing the universal need for somebody to rely on.
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
Suggesting the possibility of the speaker understanding and helping with problems.
We all need somebody to lean on
Reiterating the commonality of needing someone to lean on.
Lean on me when you're not strong
Restating the offer of support during moments of weakness.
And I'll be your friend
Reaffirming the commitment to being a friend and providing assistance.
I'll help you carry on
Continued assurance of helping to carry the burden.
For it won't be long
Reiteration that challenging times will pass relatively quickly.
Till I'm gonna need
A reminder of the inevitable moments when the speaker will also require support.
Somebody to lean on
Highlighting the mutual dependence on each other for strength.
Lean on me...
Concluding with a final invitation to lean on the speaker for support.
