The road is long,
with many a winding turn
That leads us to who
knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong,
strong enough
to carry, carry him
He ain't heavy,
he's my brother.

So on we go, (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 laden at all,
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
isn't filled with the gladness
and love for one another.

It's a long, long road,
(it’s so long)
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,
he ain't heavy
He's my brother.
