No offense intended here, but does any one know this song? All I can remember is it starts out

" I wanna grow up like Jesus and never have to work..."

and ends with something like..."I'll stop awhile and share a smile with everyone I meet"

The only time I heard it was a recording in a kid's voice.

Never heard of that song, but I'm not sure I'd want to hang around all Easter...

Lyrics:
I've got a friend I know is true
He never let's me down
He always knows just what to do
Helps me find my way around

He used to be a kid like me
A long, long time ago
He knew the truth and came to be
A man that the whole wide world would know

Chorus:
I wanna grow up, grow up
Be like Jesus, do what he teaches
Shine the light
I wanna grow up, grow up
Go where he leads me
Walking the way that I know is right
Yeah, I wanna grow up right

I know I've got a lot to learn
He's gonna show me the way
And when I'm not sure where to turn
He'll be there to save the day
I can follow Jesus anywhere
Never have a second thought
He never fails and He's always there
I'm gonna give Him everything I've got

Chorus

Bridge!

Chorus

I wanna grow up to be just like Jesus, and never have to work,

(Blah blah blah....blah blah...blahh...
...wherever Evil lurks... * (forgot the second verse..sorry)

I'll cross the Holy Land with Rod in hand, and Sandals on my feet,
I'll stop awhile and share a smile with everyone I meet!

Ha!

I think this has something to do with radio personality Don Imus.

When I grow up I want to be like Jesus and never work.
Just travel 'round from town to town, wherever evil lurks.
From the Promised Land to the Holy Land with sandals on my feet.
Just spend awhile and share a smile with everyone I meet.

funnily enough I did.. back in he late 80s I looked such a close spitting image..
I modelled as jesus in a photo studio recreation of the last supper..

Large format Sinar colour transparency

Me in centre of the table cutting the pizza...
The disciples looked like it was very yummy...

[so far to my knowledge that photo has not turned up on the internet...]
