[Verse 1]
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]
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
Won't, it won't be long
But I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

[Verse 2]
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
Hey, we all need somebody to lean on

[Verse 3]
Good morn or evening, friends
Here's your friendly announcer
I have serious news to pass on to everybody
What I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster
Could change your joy and laughter
To tears and pain

[Chorus]
It's that love's in need of love today
Don't delay, send yours in right away
Hate's goin' 'round breakin' many hearts
Stop, stop it, stop it, please before it's gone too far

[Outro]
People, let's give the world love

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
