He Ain't Heavy
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, 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
(We'll get there, yeah)
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden
If I'm laden at all
Then I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with a gladness
And love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share, yeah
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
I'm reaching out to give hand
I'm strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he ain't heavy
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
