Lyrics
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
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
That you won't let show
You 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'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
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
That you won't let show
You 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'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Great job! Alleluia! Let us know if you run into any difficulties by contacting us.
MORE TIPS FOR SUCCESSFULLY RECORDING VIDEO
- Find a quiet place with little background noise. If you have an external recording mic, all the better, but not required.
- Record horizontal, not vertical video.
- Try to keep your face in the middle of the screen.
- A tripod or family member may be helpful for camera placement and stability, though not necessary.
- Pro Tip: Leave one earbud in your ear and the other out, so you can hear yourself sing!
