lyrics

Lean on the one you trust
I’ll lend an ear
Bestow your hopes and fears
Don’t let me overhear

Lean on the one you trust
I might understand
Show me a problem that can’t be solved
We’ll change the plans

I can’t say I’ll always get it right
Called to arms like a shining knight
Even when the laughter ends
Your trust will pay you dividends
Learn all my lessons the hardest way
Reassure you its my choice to stay
Even when the laughter ends
There’s not a soul who could contend

Lean on the one you trust
I’ll bare the weight
I can be the friend at your side
Accept your worst traits

Lean on the one you trust
I’m always here
To laugh at the same old jokes
And draw you near

I can’t say I’ll always get it right
Called to arms like a shining knight
Even when the laughter ends
Your trust will pay you dividends
Learn all my lessons the hardest way
Reassure you its my choice to stay
Even when the laughter ends
There’s not a soul who could contend

I can’t say I’ll always get it right
Called to arms like a shining knight
Even when the laughter ends
Your trust will pay you dividends
Learn all my lessons the hardest way
Reassure you its my choice to stay
Even when the laughter ends
There’s not a soul who could contend
