Makaton - LEAN ON ME - Singing Hands

This is a favourite song we did at our Singing Hands Signing Choir in November and thought, as we enter into another period of Covid uncertainty, it might be one that you might enjoy too. We might not be able to be physically there for our friends because of being in various Tiers, but please call out and ask your friends for help if you need it!
A note on the signing - for the sign 'CALL ME' we've used the sign for TO ASK (as in please ask me for help if you need it). However, usually the sign moves away from the mouth - TO ASK (YOU). Here we've used it directionally (like you would in BSL) to bring the sign towards us - ie. ASK ME (for help).
Lean on Me (Glee Version)
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain (SOMETIMES / LIFE / PAIN)
We all have sorrow (SAD)
But if we are wise (BUT / CLEVER)
We know that there's always tomorrow (KNOW / ALWAYS / TOMORROW)
Lean on me, when you're not strong (RELY / ME / NO / STRONG)
And I'll be your friend (YOUR / FRIEND)
I'll help you carry on (HELP YOU / CONTINUE)
For it won't be long (SHORT TIME *SIGN UP ARM SHORT DISTANCE)
'Til I'm gonna need (I / NEED)
Somebody to lean on (PERSON /RELY)
Please swallow your pride (PLEASE / ASK ME )
If I have things you need to borrow (I / HAVE / THINGS / YOU / NEED / GIVE YOU)
For no one can fill those of your needs (NOBODY / HELP YOU)
That you won't let show (NO / ALLOW / SHOW)
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand (ASK ME / BROTHER / YOU / NEED / HELP)
We all need somebody to lean on (WE / NEED / PERSON /RELY)
I just might have a problem that you'll understand (I / MAYBE /DIFFICULT / YOU / UNDERSTAND)
We all need somebody to lean on (WE / NEED / PERSON / RELY)
Lean on me, when you're not strong (RELY / ME / NO / STRONG)
And I'll be your friend ( YOUR / FRIEND)
I'll help you carry on (HELP YOU / CONTINUE)
For it won't be long (SHORT TIME)
'Til I'm gonna need (I / NEED)
Somebody to lean on (PERSON / RELY)
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 (BURDEN)
That you can't carry (NO [CAN’T] / MANAGE)
I'm right up the road (I / HERE)
I'll share your load (HELP YOU)
If you just call me (call me) (ASK ME)
Call me (I’m calling) (ASK ME)
call me (when you need a friend) (ASK ME)
call me (call me) (ASK ME)
Call me (when you need a friend) (ASK ME)
Call me (when you need a friend) (ASK ME)
Call me (if you need a friend (ASK ME)
Call me (yeah) (ASK ME)
Call me! (ASK ME)
It won't be long (SHORT TIME)
'Til I'm gonna need (I / NEED)
Somebody to lean on (PERSON / RELY)
Lean on lean on lean on me, (RELY / RELY / RELY ME)
Lean on lean on on lean on me (RELY / RELY / RELY ME)
Lean on lean on lean on me (RELY / RELY / RELY ME)
Lean on lean on lean on me (RELY / RELY / RELY ME)
I’m gonna need somebody to lean on (I / NEED / PERSON / RELY)
I’m gonna need somebody to lean on (I NEED / PERSON / RELY)
