One easy thing to do whenever you are in over your head

Today as I meditated on what to write about, this song sang out in my mind. I just want to use it to encourage someone today. No need to write anything totally new this morning; these words, if digested, will reach you in a new way. If you don’t know how to sing this song, check it out on YouTube.

Simply read the lyrics; I resist every urge to salaye (explain).

Lean on Me. By Bill Withers.

Hmm… hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

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

Till 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 (or sister), 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

… 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

Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on

… You just call on me brother (or Sister)

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

… If there is a load you have to bear

That you can’t carry

… I’m right up the road

I’ll share your load

If you just call me

… Call me

If you need a friend

(Call me)

Call me (call me)

If you need a friend

(Call me)

If you ever need a friend

(Call me)

Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me)

… If you need a friend

(Call me)

Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me)

Kind Regards,
