he ain't heavy, he's my brother

the road is long

with many a winding turn

that leads us to who knows where

who knows where

but i'm strong

strong enough to carry him

he ain't heavy - he's my brother

so on we go

his welfare is my concern

no burden is he to bare

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 gladness of love for one another

it's a long long road from which there is no return

while we're on our way to there

why not share

and the load

it doesn't weigh me down at all

he ain't heavy - he's my brother

he ain't heavy - he's my brother

he's my brother

he's my brother
