The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But Im strong
Strong enough to carry him
He aint heavy, hes my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
Well get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He aint heavy, hes my brother
If Im laden at all
Im laden with sadness
That everyones heart
Isnt filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
Its a long, long road
From which there is no return
While were on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesnt weigh me down at all
He aint heavy, hes my brother
Hes my brother
He aint heavy, hes my brother...
