A A/C# When I first met his momma, she was just 19 A7 G D Couldn't say for certain who the father was Bm Esus E But I have known him since he was a pup D A D A And I'm gonna raise him up A A/C# If you never knew your daddy like I never knew mine A7 G D It feels like everybody knows you're fatherless Bm Esus E This boy may not be blood of my blood D A But I'm gonna raise him upYou 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 upD D/A A I'll provide for him, walk beside of him, I am strong enough D D/A A Cause it's time he knew what a son can do with a father's love E He can change the world
