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 my concern  No burden is he to bare, 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 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's my brother, he's my brother
