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
