He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

B.J. Thomas

Compositor: Bob Russell / Bobby Scott

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That lead us to
Who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy
He's just my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he
To bear
Ohh we're gonna get there
For I know
He won't encumber me, no
He ain't heavy
He's just my brother

Ohh if I'm laden at all
If I'm laden with sadness
That everybody's heart isn't filled with gladness
With love, love for one another

Or it's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we on our way to there
Why don't we share
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
He's my brother
