Russell-Peaked at #7 in 1970 as performed by the Hollies-Peaked at #20 in 1970 as performed by Neil Diamond-Peaked at #30 as the B-side to "Let It Shine" in 1976 as performed by Olivia Newton-JohnThe road is longWith many a winding turnThat leads us to who knows whereWho knows whenBut I'm strongStrong enough to carry himHe ain't heavy, he's my brotherSo on we goHis welfare is of my concernNo burden is he to bearWe'll get thereFor I knowHe would not encumber meHe ain't heavy, he's my brotherIf I'm laden at allI'm laden with sadnessThat everyone's heartIsn't filled with the gladnessOf love for one anotherIt's a long, long roadFrom which there is no returnWhile we're on the way to thereWhy not shareAnd the loadDoesn't weigh me down at allHe ain't heavy, he's my brother He's my brotherHe ain't heavy, he's my brother...From: "David Hayman"
