He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother Lyrics

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

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

So on we go (So on we go)
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

Well I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
Then 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
So 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 ain't heavy, 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 [?]
