Original lyrics
ENThe road is long
With many, oh, winding turn
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'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
That 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 the way to there
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
