Lyrics

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
