Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where?
Who knows where? (Who knows where?)
[Verse 2]
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him (Help him)
He ain't heavy (He ain't heavy), mmhmm, he's my brother
[Verse 3]
So on we go (So on we go)
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there (We will get there)
[Verse 4]
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy (He ain't heavy), he's my brother
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
It's a long, long road (It's a long, long road)
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share? (Why not share?)
[Verse 7]
Ah, and the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy (He ain't heavy), oh, he's my brother, yeah
Mmm (Doesn't weigh me down)
[Verse 8]
Oh, want everybody to know my brother David ain't heavy (He ain't heavy)
Oh, I can understand it 'cause Jimmy, you're my brother, oh yeah (He ain't heavy)
Oh, said you're not heavy, no, no (He ain't heavy)
(Oh no, I can understand it 'cause you're my brother)
I'm your brother (Your brother)
Oh
