Not sure about this song

I'm thinking about dancing with my dad to "Lean on Me". It has a special meaning to us, but I'm not sure about the tone of the lyrics, as the first line talks about pain and sorrow. Do you think it's ok, or that I should pick a more up-beat song?

I think it's a fine choice for a father daughter dance. I wouldn't worry about the lyrics too much, they are certainly not inappropriate or obscene, and people will be focused on watching you and your dad have a sweet moment together. I picked a non traditional FD dance song too and it was a big hit. If you love it and it has meaning for you and your dad, go for it!

That's the whole point of the song....to have someone to lean on when the troubled times comes, and your father shall certainly be that stronghold for you. I think it's a great song for a father/ daughter dance. As someone else had mentioned, don't worry about the lyrics much. People will remember your dance, not so much the words to the song. 

Congratulations
