Hollies, The - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother Lyrics






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 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

    A poignant, memorable,timeless and essential classic about being there for each other,and supporting each other,no matter how the road turns,and no matter what comes.Truly beautiful.One of the greatest of songs.!!!👍👍👍🌷💖💖🌍😎🎷🎻📷🎺🎹🎤🎼⛅💐💐🎧

    I utterly adore the Hollie's recording of this morally meaningful song , and love this live performance here. Now, please don't think I'm being petty but am I correct in perceiving that the lead singer here actually makes a contextually crucial lyrical error when he sings the word" sadness" rather than" gladness" in the bridge section ?. Thus " ........isn't filled with the sadness of love for one another " . But a great performance nevertheless .

  10. R.... H....

    Beautiful

  11. D.... P....

    One of the most meaningful songs in my life today....
    I had the chance to see a play at church. He touched me... That one play had a lasting impact on me for the rest of my life.. What a eye opener it was... Everybody needs to see that one play... If it don't open a person's eyes then I don't know what would....
    Much love

    In between breast an under left breast.. All the way down. Closing up ear audio they could turn that shit down but this me is their god damn walking telepathy telephone party line. My body an head. Bell south ear ringing an hiss sound on top of their young white male voices..

    This is for you my Brother. Our Mother died when you were 5, and i had just turned 15. Our Father was a drunkard, and i was the only sane one taking care of you. I did the best i could, under dire circumstances. You know what, i'd do all again in a heart beat.

    Beautiful and powerful song. Reminds me of talking care of my parents 24/7 through their health issues and deaths almost 3 years ago. During those difficult days, my mom and dad were not a burden nor were they too heavy to carry. Hopefully one day soon, our world will understand the importance of loving and taking care of each other. When that day comes, none of us will be too heavy to carry.

  19. K.... F....

    Love this song another goose bumps wish I could sing

    I once had 3 brothers, we helped each other out when needed...now there's only me, may they Rest in Peace...and know they are missed...

  23. D.... P....

    Maybe why I collected certain things an lost them in a unstable downhill cycle called roller coaster behaviors of addiction to unknown.....
    Then learned how to climb back up an move ahead with a pure loving heart not to be played with....

  28. J.... W....

    I'll never forget that Tammy Shontere requested that this song be written. And it became such a favorite that 13 million viewers have liked this one. In money terms this meant that this song is as good as a McDonald's restaurant.

  29. e.... ....

    if I weren't weeping for my sick suffering buddy of almost 40 long years right now and his son also my friend who's lost his way as well I'd be pointing out how much the singer here reminds me of Luke Spencer from General Hospital.

  30. K.... V....

    Love this stuff

  61. c.... ....

    I knew a girl in college that had a poster of a toddler with a snake around his shoulders. It read, "He ain't heavy, he's my boa"

  62. k.... f....

    this to my older and my youngest brothers, I miss you guys so much. Didn't they have this song in the backround of the Big Brother commercial?

  63. B.... D....

    Back in about '82 maybe? I got a couple free packs of cigarettes in the mail, some kind of new brand I think, and there was a cassette tape taped to them. It had about 6 songs on it and this was one of them. My radio didn't work in my car, Dart or a Duster iirc, I played that tape over and over. One day I was in the city and left my window open when I stopped in a friends house and the tape and the player left me for good. I miss that tape, and that car. Great Song

  64. C.... A....

    Wow!!! One of the finest moments in time for this classic Hollies song, if we could only live by these words today. 2019 MK

  79. M.... O....

    Serious question: are there songs being written today that people will consider classics in 40 years? Examples, please. Thanks.

  80. A.... W....

    What a statement, not to mention a brilliant piece of work. Amazing that these guys, who were so young, could create something so profound. Heart, confidence, boldness of emotion, humility, and wisdom come to mind.

  81. B.... n....

    If this song doesn't touch your heart somehow, then you probably don't have a heart.

  82. l.... ....

    So many happy memories. Ah, am revealing my age. :-)

  83. M.... ....

    I think they uses this song in the Terry Fox movie. One of my favourite songs it represents the strength of kinship 🇨🇦✌️❣️🖐🇨🇦

    A Beautiful Song.
    Makes me Cry.

  86. G.... C....

    Don't wait until it is too late to help a friend, brother or other loved one. If you don't, carry them today, tomorrow might be too late and you are not likely to have another chance.

  91. T.... B....

    I like this song, during the 1960s I would carry my brother on my shoulders. And he was never heavy, what with A-plastic sick destroying his blood, his weight didn't get to much. And the laughter I would hear as we went under a low branch is lingering in my head as I hear this song. Play on YouTube and don't take out this song.

  92. v.... ....

    I don’t think this song is literally about his brother I believe it’s about helping your fellow man when he’s down.

    v.... ....

    ABSOLUTELY!

    v.... ....

    No i think its about them saying he ain't heavy as in fat he is my brother and he saying that cause he is getting made fun of and can't get girls..

    v.... ....

    @Top Clasè someone's got the sillies tonight. Lol
