  • 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 to bare, 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 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, it doesn't weigh me down at all
    He ain't heavy – he's my brother
    He ain't heavy – he's my brother, he's my brother, he's my brother Writer/s: Bob Russell, Bobby Scott
