He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
Such then is the human condition, that to wish greatness for one’s country is to wish harm to one’s neighbours.
– Voltaire
Voltaire and Democracy Voltaire agreed with many democratic beliefs, such as the government's duty being to protect the liberties and rights of those they govern. - study.com

― Albert Einstein
He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother (The Hollies) is a song about a man carrying his brother on his back. The lyrics talk about how the man is tired, but he's happy to have his brother with him. The Hollies song is a metaphor for the struggles of life and is also sometimes used in connection with war (we all are brothers/sisters) aside from its original meaning.
“He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”
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
He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother THE HOLLIES
