The road is long
with many a winding turn
that leads us to who knows where,
who know 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
