He ain't heavy, he's my brother

[monster]

I was watching the PBS channel awhile ago and Barry Manilow was on...yeah I know I'm aging myself. This song was derived from a picture in a magazine long ago...it was of a little boy carrying his polio stricken brother. The caption underneath read "He ain't Heavy, he's my brother". These lyrics at least to me define the family we have here, I think you will all understand. You are all my brothers and sisters

Love,
Monster


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
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with gladness
And 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
