The road is long   With many a winding turn   That leads us to who knows where   Who knows when   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...
