The road is long 
with many a winding turns 
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 of my concern 
No burden is he 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 sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled
with the gladness
Of love for
      D7    N.C.
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
He's my brother   
He ain't heavy, 
he's my brother 
He ain't heavy, 
He's my brother ...
