Boy Like Me / Man Like You Lyrics

You 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

They wrapped You in swaddling clothes

Me they dressed in baby blue

But I 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

There You were in the temple

They said You weren't old enough

To know the things You knew

Well, 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 'bout 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 Rich Mullins - Boy Like Me / Man Like You - http://motolyrics.com/rich-mullins/boy-like-me-man-like-you-lyrics.html

And You 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 if I ever really do grow up

Lord I want to grow up and be just like You

Well, did You wrestle with a dog and 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 'bout 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 a rock across a quiet creek?

And did they tell You stories 'bout 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 strai
