The road is long, with many a winding turns That leads us to go-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 my concern No burden is he to bare, 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 a 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 the load 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
