The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When i first met his mama, she was just 19
….couldn't say for certain who the father was
But 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 could change the world
You only have to look at joseph
A couple thousand years ago
He held a newborn baby he named jesus
He said "he may not be blood of by blood
Still i'm gonna raise him up
I will provide for him
Walk beside of him
I am strong enough
I will show him too
What a son can do
With a father's 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 father's love
One man changed the world and he can change your world
But you gotta raise him up
Raise him up
