Y[G]ou-was a baby like I was once, You-was-cryin' in the early mornin'
You-was-born in a stable Lord, Reid Memorial is where I... was born
T[Am]hey wrapped You in swaddling clothes, Me they dressed in baby bl[G]ue
I[G] -was twelve-years-old in the meeting house, listening to the old men pray
And I was tryin' hard to figure out, what it was that they was tryin' to say
T[Am]here You were in the temple, they said You weren't old enough to know the things You [G]knew
Well, did You g[Am]row up hungry?, did You grow up fast?, did the little girls giggle when You walked past?
Did You w[G]onder what it was, that made them laugh?
[Did they [Am]tell You stories 'bout the saints of old?, stories about their faith?
They say s[D]tories like that make a boy grow bold, stories like that make a man walk st[G]raight]
Y[G]ou was a boy like I was once, but was You a boy like me
Well, I grew up around Indiana, you grew up around Galilee
And i[Am]f I ever really do grow up, Lord I want to grow up and be just like Y[G]ou
Did You wr[Am]estle with a dog and lick his nose?, did You play beneath the spray, of a water hose?
Did You ever make[G] angels in the winter snow?
[Did they [Am]tell You stories 'bout the saints of old?, stories about their faith?
They say s[D]tories like that make a boy grow bold, stories like that make a man walk st[G]raight]
(whistling solo)
[G] [Am] [G]
Did You[Am] ever get scared, playing hide and seek?, did You try not to cry, when You scraped Your knee?
Did You [G]ever skip a rock across a quiet creek?
[Did they [Am]tell You stories 'bout the saints of old?, stories about their faith?
They say s[D]tories like that make a boy grow bold, stories like that make a man walk st[G]raight]
And I r[Am]eally may just grow up, and be like You some[G]day
You-was-born in a stable Lord, Reid Memorial is where I... was born
T[Am]hey wrapped You in swaddling clothes, Me they dressed in baby bl[G]ue
I[G] -was twelve-years-old in the meeting house, listening to the old men pray
