The road is long
With the many winding turns
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 my concern
No burden is his 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 the 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 our way to there
Why not share?
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
