lyrics for "He ain't heavy..." for 4/12 (Mother's Day)


lyrics more or less, based on various versions
(mostly here: http://www.metrolyrics.com/he-aint-heavy-hes-my-brother-lyrics-hollies.html)
and the Hollies vid

(link again for your ease of access! THE HOLLIES - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - YouTube

I broke them into actual verses as far as i could tell 
there are still some typos, etc......


Don't forget Jan asked for slight lyrics alteration - stand by for those changes at rehearsal probably



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 of 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 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
