Raise Him Up — текст песни (Randy Travis)

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
