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

Cause it's time he knew what a son can do with a father's love
E
He can change the world


You 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

Chorus

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


Chorus

And he can change your world
But you gotta raise him up
Raise him up
