He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

The road is long
With a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of 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
If I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with 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...
