The official NHS Relief song – a project led by Beverley Knight & Dr Ranj Singh to support the frontline NHS workers in the fight against Covid-19.
All of the proceeds will go to ‘NHS Charities Together’ a culmination of NHS charities and You Okay Doc, a charity for the mental health and wellbeing for Doctors and Healthcare Professionals.
Inspired by ‘Clap For Our Carers’, some of the UK’s finest performers including Joss Stone, supported by emerging talented UK artists and musicians are joining together with Beverley Knight & Dr Ranj Singh to lead a viral campaign showing our national support for the NHS and its volunteers.
The track is ‘Lean On Me’ – Bill Withers who sadly passed away recently but left the world this incredibly powerful song.
Some-times 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, I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For, it wont 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 wont let show
(you) just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need, somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need, somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong,
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For, it wont be long, 'til I'm gonna need, somebody to lean on
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
If you need a friend
Lean on me
If you need a friend
Oooooh
If you need a friend
Lean on me
If you need a friend
