<b>In times like these</b> by <i>Mavis Staples</i><br />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 my feet on the ground turning '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 one not to care, no

there's no one anywhere

who doesn't feel it in their hearts

gotta make a new start ya'll

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 needs something

everybody needs someone

everybody has a friend of friend who knew a friend of a friend who's got a friend of a friend
