Medley: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother/Bridge Over Troubled Water |
The road is long with many winding turns |
That leads us to who knows where |
Who knows where |
But I’m strong (Yes, I am) |
Strong enough to carry him |
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother |
Brother, brother (Brother) |
No, he ain’t heavy |
Although at times the burden may seem |
A little too much for each of us to bear |
But then, it’s an individual choice |
As for myself, f’ve made mine |
When you’re weary feelin' small |
Ooh, when tears are in your eyes |
I’ll dry them all |
Oh, yes I will, ooh |
(I'm on your side) Um, when times get rough |
And when friends, friends just can’t |
They can’t be found |
Like a bridge over troubled water |
I will lay me down |
Like a bridge over troubled water |
I will lay me down |
When you’re down and out (Sail on silver girl) |
When you’re on the street (So am I) |
When evening falls so hard |
I will comfort you, oh yes I will, ooh |
(I'll take your part) |
Oh, when darkness comes |
And pain, pain is all, all around ya' |
Like a bridge over troubled water |
I will lay me down |
Like a bridge over troubled water |
I will lay me down |
Like a bridge over troubled water |
I’m gonna lay this body down |
Like a bridge over troubled water |
I’m gonna lay this body down |
(For my brother) |
Yeah, yeah lay me down |
(For my brother) |
Yeah, for my brother gonna lay me down |
(For my brother) |
Yeah, lay me down oh yeah |
For my brother gonna lay me down |
You don’t have to worry |
All you got to do is |
(Sail on silver girl…) |
