[Verse 1]
Stretch out your arms
It's time to lay down your arms
And help each other
All our sisters and brothers
When will we give up the fight
It never was the fight to hurt each other
All our sisters and brothers

When you don't have the words
To explain the hurt

[Chorus]
You can lean on me
When the bullets start flying
Lean on me
When you're fighting for surviving
Lean on me
When you don't have a home
You can lean on me

[Verse 2]
See they say they know
But when have they ever known how
To help each other
All their sisters and brothers
When will we give up the fight
It never was the fight to hurt each other
All our sisters and brothers

When you don't have the words
To explain the hurt

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
To my brothers, for my sisters
Here's my shoulder
You can lean on me
I won't stop trying
Like I won't stop fighting
Here's my shoulder
You can lean on me

[Chorus]
When you're walkin' through the fire
Lean on me
When you're feet are gettin' tired
Lean on me
When you don't have a home
You can lean on me.
