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...)
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 he's my brother
