He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Lyrics
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 (he finds a park bench, he settles down)
His welfare is my concern (traded his medals for the clothes he wears)
No burden is he to bear (he slaps his hand to his brow)
We'll get there (will service men come around?)
For I know (nowhere he lays is warm)
He will not encumber me (he'll bless you as you walk by, peace is all he needs now)
He ain't heavy (no, no, no)
He's my brother
And if I'm laden (laden) at all (at all)
Well I'm laden (raw raw raw) with sadness
That anyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love (love, 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 (no, no, no)
He's my brother
Oh, oh, oh, ooh brother oh (he's my brother)
I'm gonna lift you up, hold you up, pick you up (he ain't heavy)
Ooh (he's my brother)
I'm never leavin' you, leavin' you behind (he ain't heavy)
If you never know, ever know, never know (he's my brother)
How much you mean to me brother ooh (he ain't heavy)
(He finds a park bench, he settles down)
Walk with me, talk with me (he's my brother)
Ooh my brother
