Raise Him Up

When I first met his momma
 She was just 19
 Couldn't say for certain who the father was
 I have known him since he was a pup
 And I'm gonna raise him up
 If you never knew your daddy
 Like I never knew mine
 It feels like everybody knows you're fatherless
 This boy may not be blood of my blood
 But I'm gonna raise him up
 I'll provide for him
 Walk beside of him
 I am strong enough
 Cause it's time he knew
 What a son can do
 With a father's love
 He can change the world
 Ya'll may have to look at joseph
 A couple thousand years ago
 When he held a newborn baby he named jesus
 He said he may not be blood of my blood
 Still I'm gonna raise him up
 I'll provide for him
 Walk beside of him
 I am strong enough
 I will show him too
 What a son can do
 With a fathers love
 And he will change the world
 33 years later
 When the son was in his grave
 Broken and abandoned by a world he came to save
 His real dad said he's mine
 Blood of my blood
 And I'm gonna raise him up
 I'll provide for you
 Walk beside of you
 I am strong enough
 I have seen from you
 What a son can do
 With a fathers love
 One man changed the world
 And he can change your world
 But you gotta raise him up
 Raise him up
