He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother

B.J. Thomas · Songs Of Faith [1979]

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 just my brother.



So on we go, his welfare is my concern

No burden is he to bear, ah, were gonna get there

For I know he won't encumber me at all

He ain't heavy, he's just my brother.



Oh, If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness

That everybody's heart isn't filled with gladness

Of love, love for one another.



Oh, It's a long, long road from which there is no return

While we're on our way to there

Why don't we share, 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...
