[Verse 1]
The road is long, with many a winding turns
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong, I'm strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

[Verse 2]
So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

[Chorus]
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness
Of love for one another

[Outro]
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, oh, load, it doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, no, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he is my brother
