Joseph saw an angel Who told him what would come In wonder he was faithful When mary bore a son He knew that he was different The moment he arrived And soon he would grow up To become his father's pride So every day he told him I love you like my own I may not be your father But you'll always be my son Call me dad Call me father Call on me when there is anything you need Let me be The one you turn to When you're joyful If you sad Call me dad He saw that God was with him And watched him as he grew Strong and wise in spirit As he taught him all he knew And every day he told him I love you like my own I may not be your father But you'll always be my son Call me dad Call me father Call on me when there is anything you need Let me be The one you turn to When you're joyful If you sad Call me dad Jesus turned to joseph And said brother You know I love you more than life I'll lay my life down So you'll know our father Then you will hear a voice From up on high say Call me dad Call me father Call on me when there is anything you need Let me be The one you turn to When you're joyful If you sad Call me dad Call me dad
