RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother lyrics

rate me

The road is long

With many a winding turn

That leads us to who knows where

Who knows when

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

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.
