Rich Mullins - Boy Like Me/man Like You Lyrics

Send "Boy Like Me/man Like You" ringtone to your cell

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

Well I was twelve years old in the meeting house

Listening to the old men pray

Well 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

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 wanna 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 straight

And I really may just grow up

And be like you someday
