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 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 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 ain't heavy. he's my brother
