about

Everyone feels a bit shit sometimes, and that's OK.
Everyone also feels pretty strong sometimes, and that's obviously great.
Look out for each other and support folks when you can. When you need support, let people give it to you.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Ferocity eluding him, surrounded in doubt
Lion slumps sadly, breathes a weary sigh out
Familiarity with life’s volatile ways
Little mouse reaches out with kindness and says:

(mouse)
Look into my eyes and hear what I say
I know what’s going on, won’t look the other way
I recognise the pain in you, can see it in your face
Take hold of my hand, I’ll lead you out of this place

(lion)
I don’t know why I feel this way
I’m not sure I’ll make it through another day
The strength that I had has disappeared from inside
I just want to find a place to curl up and hide

(assortment of little creatures)
You’re not alone, we feel you
It’s not just you, it’s all of us too

Lion lifts his heavy head, begins to rise
Looks all around him, can’t believe his eyes
A multitude of creatures spread across the plain
All trying to take away some of his pain

Overwhelmed at this courageous display
He smiles as his tears roll gently away
Pride and strength returning to him once more
He lifts up his chest and lets out a great roar

You’re not alone, we feel you
It’s not just you, it’s all of us too

(Instrumental)

Sometimes we all need a friend to lean on
Sometimes we all need a friend to lean on
Sometimes we all need a friend to lean on
Even the strong need a friend to lean on

Lean on, you can lean on me,
You can lean on me, you can lean on me

Sometimes we all need a friend to lean on
Sometimes we all need a friend to lean on
Sometimes we all need a friend to lean on
Even the strong need a friend to lean on

Lean on, you can lean on me,
You can lean on me, you can lean on me.
