Lyric He Ain t Heavy...he s My Brother

(Bob Russell/Bobby Scott)

The road is long with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows when
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 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 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 ain t heavy. He s my brother
