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?

Did you wrestle with the dog?
Did he lick your nose?
Did you play beneath the spray
Of a water hose?
Did you ever make angels
In the winter snow?

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?

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

I really may just grow up
To be like You
Someday

He faced the same sort of problems any other teen faces, except without sin. Popular? I think you can probably take a guess from how revolted people were later in His life. Holiness convicts.
