You was a baby like I was once 
Crying in the early morning 
You was born in a manger Lord 
Reid Memorial is where I was born 
They wrapped You in swaddling clothes 
Me they dressed in baby blue 

Well I was twelve years old in the meeting house 
I was listening the the old men pray 
I was trying hard to figure out 
What it was that they was trying to say 
And there You were in the temple 
They said You weren't old enough 
To know the things You knew 

Did You grow up hungry 
Did You grow up fast 
Did the little girls giggle when You walked past 
Did You wonder what it was that made them laugh 
And did they tell You stories about the saints of old 
Stories about their faith 
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold 
Stories like that make a man walk straight 

You was a boy like I was once 
Was You a boy like me 
I grew up around Indiana 
You grew up around Galilee 
If I really do grow up 
Well I want to grow up and be just like You 

Did You wrestle with a dog 
Did You lick his nose 
Did You play beneath the spray of a water hose 
Did You ever make angels in the winter snow 
And did they tell You stories about the saints of old 
Stories about their faith 
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold 
Stories like that make a man walk straight 

Did You ever get scared playing hide and seek 
Did You try not to cry when You scraped Your knee 
Did You ever skip rocks across a quiet creek 
And did they tell You stories about the saints of old 
Stories about their faith 
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold 
Stories like that make a man walk straight 

And I really may just grow up and be like You some day
