Where did that man get such wisdom?
Where did He get all that power?
Isn't He just a carpenter's Son?
Isn't His mother's name Mary?

And don't we all know
His brothers and sisters
They don't seem unusual
So what's all this talk
About Him comin' down from heaven
I knew the boy when He was knee high
Yes, I knew the man when He was a child

Where did that man get such wisdom?
Where did He get all that power?
Isn't He just a carpenter's Son?
Isn't His mother's name Mary?

But didn't they find Him
Talkin' with the elders
His wisdom astounded them all
And what about the time
We saw Him make wine out of water
We wondered then who He really was
Yes, we wondered then who He really was

Where did that man get such wisdom?
Where did He get all that power?
Isn't He just a carpenter's Son?
Isn't His mother's name Mary?

Our heads were spinning
When we heard Him say
"The spirit of the Lord is on Me
I bring glad tidings
To the meek and the lonely
I've come to set the prisoners free"
Oh, now who can this man really be?
Tell me now, who can this man really be?
