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
