LEAN ON ME

So highly strung 

You’ve been for long 

Like a guitar that’s wrung 

All out of song 

 

And all you need 

Is a corner to lie 

Where you can just 

Not be questioned why 

 

So just for once 

Don’t shine brighter 

 And just for once 

Don’t be that fighter 

 

And I’m telling you this 

 Take second place 

And just for once 

Slow down your pace 

 

Look up at skies 

And not look for inspiration 

Stare at the stars 

With no expectation 

 

And even if you fall 

And even if you rise 

Everything you do 

Doesn’t have to be a prize 

 

You may not understand this 

But said quite simply 

Just take my hand 

 And lean on me. 

 

You may not understand this 

But said quite simply 

 Just take my hand 

And lean on me.
