The road is long, with a many a winding turn That leads us to 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 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 leading at all, I'm leading 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
