SOPRANOS                Oohs                           

AND ALTOS

CHORUS                   Lean on me

                    When you�re not strong

                    And I�ll be your friend

                    I�ll help you carry on

                    For it won�t be long

                    Till I�m going to need

                    Somebody to lean on

VERSE                      Sometimes in our lives

                    We all have pain

                    We all have sorrow

                    But if we are wise

                    We know that there�s

                    Always tomorrow

                                CHORUS

SOLO1                      You just call on me brother when you need a hand

CHOIR                      We all need somebody to lean on

SOLO2                      I just might have a problem that you�d understand

CHOIR                      We all need somebody to lean on

                                CHORUS

VERSE                      Please swallow your pride

                    If I have things

                    You need to borrow

                    For no one can fill

                    Those of your needs

                    That you won�t let show

                                CHORUS

SOLO2            You just call on me sister when you need a hand

CHOIR            We all need somebody to lean on

SOLO1            She just might have a problem that you�d understand

CHOIR            We all need somebody to lean on
