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, 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, raise him up, raise him up |
