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 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 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 ain't heavy He's my brother
