You never want to hear them say
That someone close was lost today
So many lives will never be the same
Still we lose from time to time
And we will fall but we will climb
So many lives you're thinking of
When words are not enough
(chorus)
You can lean on me, when it's hard to see
How the day will live again
Will it ever mend?
When we lose a friend
Though we try, we don't understand
The world's saying why?
And we're praying for those in the sky
Go set them free
You can lean on me
You can lean on me
You can lean on me
Why does it take so many days
To make our world a better place
We believe that there must be a way
We won't give up without a fight
Let's take the black and paint it white
So many lives you're thinking of
When words are not enough
(chorus)
You can lean on me, when it's hard to see
How the day will live again
Will it ever mend?
When we lose a friend
Though we try, we don't understand
The world's saying why?
And we're praying for those in the sky
Go set them free
You can lean on me
You can lean on me
You can lean on me
Pray for the lost, pray for the families
Although it's torn, our lives will go on
And you can lean on me
(chorus)
You can lean on me, when it's hard to see
How the day will live again
I know how you feel
But the scars will heal
Though we try, we don't understand
You can lean on me, when it's hard to see
How the day will live again
Will it ever mend?
When we lose a friend
Though we try, we don't understand
The world's saying why?
And we're praying for those in the sky
Go set them free
You can lean on me
You can lean on me
You can lean on me
