Song facts
“And So It Was That I Had Grown” is the first track of the third movement – entitled “Crypt” – of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio, released in 1991.
III: CRYPT. 1959. Shanty, now a confused teenager, goes to a Church dance in the crypt; he doubts his and God’s existence. Here, Mary Dee materialises – still dreamlike – to him again. Still he cannot see her. As he sings of his vision of the future, Mary Dee breaks the news that his father has died. Shanty is left sad and alone.

Lyrics
SHANTY
And so it was that I had grown
Into a youth uncertain, thrown
Amongst the lions and the lambs.
To pass the time we watched the
children dance.
