"Lean on Me"

 Bill Withers' childhood in the coal mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia, was the inspiration for "Lean on Me", which he wrote after he had moved to Los Angeles and found himself missing the strong community ethic of his hometown. He had lived in a decrepit house in the poor section of his town.

Lyrics
Hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Sometimes 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
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...
For it won't be long
Till 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 won't 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
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
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
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
Call me
If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me (call me)
If you need a friend
(Call me)
If you ever need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me)
If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me)

Lakshmi Ramachandran
HELLO ! I am Lakshmi Ramachandran. I have been studying technical analysis since Jan 2001. Life was too boring with a stagnant job at Bank of Baroda. I wanted to do something which threw challenges almost on a daily basis. At 45 years of age,there was not much oppurtunity to jump jobs.Moreover I wanted to be my own master. Then came the oppurtunity of a lifetime. Banks were offering voluntary retirement schemes and luckily I qualified for it. Stock markets always attracted and intrigued me. It seemed confusing and complex.Yes, this was just the thrill i was looking for. Despite the risk of losing out on a good, cushy, respectable and lucrative job which I could have continued for another 15 years, I Quit. I had found my calling.
