LEAN ON ME!!

Up from dawn the sun rises and between we change places
from the hurting that life splashes we cry, smile and make faces
We toil and hustle sometimes getting broken down into pieces
But hey, when it's done don't turn your back or stand alone in distress
When I am here, please lean on me.

Related not we are by blood, yet by heart we forever belong
In life races and colors isn't a matter, for in blood we share so long
Things we see discourage and separate, watch out else you tag along
Oh yes, when it happens don't cry in shame or hate them too but be strong
When you are low, just lean on me.

East or west they say home is best, the earth is home no west or east
politics split with boundaries to kill, our spirits they wreck them are beast
call me brother when you want my vote, leave me hungry without a feast
How now, when they step on you quit trying to fight them worry the least
When you are down, you lean on me.

One family from a dad and mum, yet jealousy keep breaking them down
Some from a distance but hate your progress they'll kill to keep you down
Its better with animals that love no hatred can keep them mad or frown
Yes sure, man is bad they judge and choose who's black and brown
When you see this, understand lean on me.
