Intro: The road is long With many a winding turn 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 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 I'm laden 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, the load doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother
