In times like these
We need to be strong
We need to carry on
We need to get along, hold on
And right what's wrong

In times like these
We need to find a way
To make a better day
Keep our feet on the ground, turn it 'round
Come what may

Everybody, everybody needs
Someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone
(Everybody) everybody, (everybody) everybody needs
Someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone now

In times like these
There's no way not to care, no
There's no one anywhere
Who doesn't feel it in their hearts
Gotta make a new start, y'all

In times like these
Let the world understand
Together hand in hand
Every woman, child and man
United we stand

Everybody (everybody), everybody (everybody) needs
Someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone
Everybody (everybody), everybody (everybody) needs
Someone they can lean on
Everybody needs to lean on someone

Everybody feels something
Everybody knew someone
Everybody has a friend of a friend
Who knew a friend of a friend
Who's got a friend who loved a friend
