The road is long

with many a winding turn

that leads us to who knows where,

who know 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 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...
