Lighten your load friend sit by me
Tell me all about your day
The night is falling and words are free
and you're a friend of mine

You're running on empty it all seems wrong
Your loads too heavy this roads too long
You're doing your best just to hang on
And you're a friend of mine
Yeah, you're a friend of mine

Lean, lean on me as I lean on the one who's stronger
Lean, lean on me I'll lead you to the one who's stronger
Lean, lean on me

Life is so easy when you were young
Songs of love and joy were sung
But your love is lost and your joy is gone
And you keep wondering why
As time keeps flying by

Lean, lean on my as I lean on the one who's stronger
Lean, lean on me I'll lead you to the one who's stronger
Lean, lean on me

I'll do my best to be here for you through the years
But I can't carry all your hidden pain and fears
But there is one who wants to wipe away your tears
He is waiting

Lean on the everlasting arms of Jesus
Lean on the everlasting arms (2x)

Lighten your load friend sit by me
Tell me all about your day
The night is falling and words are free
and you're a friend of mine

Lean, lean on my as I lean on the one who's stronger
Lean, lean on me I'll lead you to the one who's stronger
Lean, lean on me
