The road is long, with many a winding turn
And that leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong, I'm strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy
He ain't heavy

You see, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
And I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, no Lord
He's my brother
If I'm late
If I'm late at all
I'm late with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of a love
For one another
Oh, it's a long, long road
From which there is no return
And while we're on our way
To there
Why don't we share
And alone
Alone
Love alone
Don't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, no Lord
He's my brother
No, no, he ain't heavy
No, no, he's my brother
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
