The road is long
With many a windin' turn
That leads us to who
Knows where, who knows where.
But I'm strong.
I'm 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
Oh, Lord, it don't weigh me down at all.
He ain't heavy.
No, he's my brother.
He ain't heavy.
He's my brother.
