The road is lo

That lead us t

             
o (who knows) 

          
where, who kno

ws where?
             
But I'm strong

            
, strong enoug

           
h to carry him

 - yeah
             
He ain't heavy

         
 - he's my bro

So on we go 

            
His welfare is

  
 of my concern
            
No burden is h

  
e to bear

We'll get ther

For I know
            
He would not e

         
ncumber me

If I'm laden a

ss
            
Of love for on

It's a long, l

ong road
            
From which the

While we're on

  
 the way to th

Why not share

       
And the load
          
Doesn't weigh 

            (
