Lyrics
Lean On Me
Verse 1
When your road gets heavy on your tired shoes
And the sky never seems to give way to blue
If the night feels longer than it ought to
You're out of strength don't know what to do.
Chorus: You can come by here, rest for a while, umm hmm
You can lean on me for a few short miles, umm hmm
When life weighs you down, press you to your knees, umm hmm
You can rest right here, you can lean on me.
Verse 2
I've been where you are, in need of a helping hand,
Pride torn and patience worn, down to the very last strand,
And I know the pain that makes you groan,
You don't have to bear this hurt alone.
Bridge: We're all just walking each other home,
Trading strength when ours is gone,
No one stands forever tall,
Lean right here I won't let you fall. oh oh oh oh.
Chorus: You can come by here, rest for a while, umm hmm
You can lean on me for a few short miles, umm hmm
When life weighs you down, press you to your knees,
You can rest right here, you can lean on me.
Piano solo:
Pre Chorus: We're all just walking each other home, trading strength when ours is gone,
Just lean on me if you need, no matter what faith, race or creed.
Final Chorus:
So rest right here, just for a little while,
I've got room, and I've got time
When life tries to bring you down,
I'll be right here, always around,
And when I'm the one, when it's me who can't stand,
I'll trust you'll do the same, and lend me a hand.
Outro: So lean right here I won't let you fall, Yeah just lean, you don't have to carry it alone,
If life has you on your knees,
You can rest right here, you can lean on me.
