He Ain't Heavy - 1969

Here are The Hollies playing their 1969 hit "He Ain't Heavy".  This version was released in September 1969 featuring Elton John on piano! Flashback 40 years and this tune was probably playing on your radio.  Today I dedicate it to all those who walk this long and winding road with us as friends, partners, spouses, caregivers, parents, children, brothers and sisters, sharing your love, hope, and tears long the way. 

"But for your love and friendship,

there would be no road worth taking.

But for your strength and support,

there would be no way to take it!"  

AMEN to that!

enjoy...

HE AIN"T HEAVY

(B. Scott and B. Russell)

The road is long

With many a winding turn

That leads us to who knows where

Who knows when

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

He's my brother

He ain't heavy, he's my brother...
