The road is long with the many winding turns that leads us to 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 his 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 the 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 doesn't weigh me down at all. He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
