The road is long.             With many a winding turn  
D7             Em7 F7M                   Am7 D7 
That leads us to who knows where

But I'm strong,            strong enough to carry him

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

That everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another

While we're on the way to there  why not share

And the load, the load doesn't weigh me down at all  
G7M                 Am7 D/C     G7M 
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
