He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The road is long (a long, long road)
With many winding turns
That leads us to (who knows where)
Who knows where (who knows where)

[Chorus 1]
But I'm strong
Strong enough to care
Ah, he ain't heavy (he ain't heavy)
Cause, he's my brother

[Verse 2]
So, on we go (so, on we go)
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he (to where)
We'll get there (we'll get there)

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]
(He's my brother)
When the going gets rough, I've got a buddy
(He's my brother)
When the going gets tough, I've got a friend
(He's my brother)
All you have to do is call me, yeah, yeah
(He's my brother)
All you gotta do is call me, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
'Cause he's my brother
'Cause he's my brother...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
