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.
