he aint heavy. . .he's my brother

gene and me, 26 may 1990

-------------------------------


The road is long
With many a winding turn
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 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.
