The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who

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 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, laden at all

And 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
Cause he ain't heavy (he ain't heavy)

He's my brother (he's my brother)

He's my brother

He's my brother
He's my brother
Oh yes he is

He's my brother
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy
