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 him
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he today
We'll get there

For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

If I am leaving alone
Then I am leaving 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 out there
Why not share

And the load doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy
He's my brother...
