Kodi Lee had two fun guests help him with his most recent cover!

On August 7, the America's Got Talent Season 14 Winner posted the most uplifting rendition of the classic track "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers. In the clip, Lee confidently played the piano while he riffed his heart out. Then, for a special twist, his mom Tina Lee and his sister jumped on camera, clapping and stomping their feet to the chorus. 

"A Message From Me To You," he captioned the video. "Wait for the SURPRISE guests 🙈😮 I’m so thankful to have an amazing family to lean on! #heckyeah! What do you think….shouldn’t @kodileesmom should be in my videos more !? 😍

The lyrics to "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers

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)
