Lean On Me

(Album: Free At Last - 1992)

(Oldie but a goodie...)
True MC, no slack on the track
Here to tell the people that love's what we lack
In this family we gotta love like Christ
So precise in your life so take this advice
Brother to brother we need to learn to love each other
So lean on me when you're in trouble
I cast my cares on Christ 'cause He cares for me
So when you need a shoulder to cry on, just lean

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
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Sometimes in our lives
We all 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 I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs, yeah
If you won't let them show

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
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on your brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have some problems that you understand, yeah
We all need somebody to lean on

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
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Make it funky, make it funky
Make it funky, make it funky
Make it funky, make it funky

Cause I'm housing this joint like a brother with an attitude
And coming straight so you best give me latitude
Leaning on my boys from the word get go
And being there for them 'cause the Lord said so
Many of us just don't know what to do
Well take it here and now from the boy named True
Don't dog a brother out when he stumbles and falls
Just be there to lean on, y'all

Call me, call me, just call me
Call me, call me, just call me, lean on me

Don't you know that I'll be there, you can lean on me
Don't you know that I'll be there, you can lean on me
Don't you know that I'll be there, you can lean on me
