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
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?
