Verse 1
It's Christmas time and soon I know I'll see
Presents underneath our Christmas tree
Mistletoe and stockings in their place
Extra cookie out for Santa in case
Pre-Chorus 1
But tonight I'm setting up the manger underneath the tree, I'm counting all the pieces as a question comes to me...
Chorus 1
Was He a boy like me?
Did He bounce on daddy's knee?
Did He play games to make His mother smile?
As I place the final piece inside the manger scene, I wonder if He was a boy like me.
Verse 2
Throw tinsel on it and some candy canes
Turn on the hi-fi Julie Andrew sings
Jingle bells I wish some snow would fall;
Say our thanks, wish merry Christmas to all.
Pre-Chorus 2
But as I stare out the window at the Christmas star tonight; there's a question I must ask you and I hope that you don't mind...
(Repeat Chorus 1)
BRIDGE
I knocked the wise man over when I put the baby in. I set him up so He could see the child once again. I fixed the broken shepherd so He could stand up tall; looking in his eyes I think I see just what they saw.
Chorus 2
He saw a boy like me.
He bounced him on His knee.
They played some games that made His mother smile.
As you place the final piece inside your manger scene;
They wondered at this boy
They gazed upon this gift
In a boy like me
In a boy like me
