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 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
