The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us
to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother He ain't heavy
He's my brother He ain't heavy
