LEAN ON ME lyrics

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
'Til 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, when you need a hand (Chorus)
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Second Verse
(Chorus)

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
(Chorus)
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 (if you need A friend)

The Wikipedia describes popular culture as the breadth of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, images and other phenomena that are deemed preferred per an informal consensus with the mainstream of a given culture. Popular culture is to me, who is an African American, way for other race to understand us, our anger frustration, happiness and hope.. I am a soldier in the United States army, and we work, with all races, popular culture helps. Understanding and appreciating other cultures, like Hispanic by listening to their music, you can understand how proud and passionate they are, therefore, you learn how to approach them , what can offend them and try to keep our work environment as civil as we can.I am originally form Haiti, and I know with the Fugees ( Wyclef Jean) people start understanding us and not being afraid of what the don't know and not mistaking pride ( which I think we have more than the world :)...) for evil.

I chose this song because, it has touched and still is touching a lot of people. It has also given people an example of how they should be toward others. And so far, I see that the United States has followed the words in that lyric. because the world knows that if they need help, we are always there to give that hand, we stood by what we sang and believe in the words.
