🎵 “Raise You Into Men” (Final Cut) ⸻ Verse 1 Joe… I still see you in the doorway Trying hard not to show fear Fourteen years and getting taller But I still see my boy right here Ollie runs like he’s on fire Eight years old and wild and free Two different storms under this roof Both carrying pieces of me Your hands don’t fit like they used to But I still check your doors at night Your mum and I built this home Brick by brick with love and fight ⸻ Pre-Chorus Every bruise, every hard lesson Every time you test the line We’re teaching you to stand up straight While we’re praying you stay mine ⸻ Chorus I would fight the world to keep you safe Stand in front of every storm But I wasn’t made to keep you boys I was made to make you strong Be steady, be dangerous with kindness Be the men I know you’ll be And when I have to step aside Walk taller than me You’re our blood, our name, our fire You’re the reason we stand tall And when the day comes we let you go You’ll know… We gave you all ⸻ Verse 2 Joe, you’re learning how to carry weight I see it in your eyes That quiet strength, that question mark About the world outside Ollie, you still reach for my hand Like I can fix it all And part of me wants time to freeze Before you both outgrow these walls But I see the way you guard each other No one taught you that That silent code between two brothers “I’ve always got your back.” ⸻ Pre-Chorus One day I won’t walk beside you You’ll move ahead of me And that’s the cost a father pays For raising sons to be free ⸻ Chorus (Bigger) I would fight the world to keep you safe Take every hit that comes But I didn’t raise you just to hide I raised you into men Be loyal, be fierce in the right ways Protect what you love most And when I’m not there in the fight Be the man you saw me show You’re our blood, our name, our fire You’re the best of what we’ve done And when the day comes we let you go We’ll know… Our work’s begun ⸻ Bridge (Raw, stripped down) I won’t always be the strongest man in the room One day… that’ll be you And if your mum and I did this right You won’t need us to fight your battles But I hope… When you look back You remember We never stopped choosing you (Drums build. Choir swell.) ⸻ Final Chorus (Full cinematic lift) I would fight the world to keep you safe But now I trust who you’ll become I didn’t raise you to stay my boys I raised you to be my sons Joe… stand firm when it’s heavy Ollie… lead with your heart And when the world tries to break you down Remember who you are You’re our blood, our name, our fire You’re the best of all we’ve done And when the day comes we let you go We’ll know… We’ve already won ⸻ Final Line (Drop everything. One vocal. No music.) Because the greatest thing I’ll ever build… Is the men you become.
