I Can Be Friends With You - Petra

I can be friends with you 
There's no better friend that a man can know 
I can be friends with you 
And I feel so special 
'Cause it's you I know 

I don't know the governor 
Even though I'm a resident 
I don't rub shoulders with the dignities 
Or shake hands with the President 

And I know I can be with you 
And I don't have to wait in line 
You're the author and creator of all the world 
And a personal friend of mine 

When I have a problem 
I can always come to You 
Regardless of the situation 
I know You know what to do 
You put Your arm around and speak so tenderly 
And I feel better just to know You care 
And you took the time for me 

Greater love has no man than this 
That a man lay his life down for his friend 
But You laid down for all the world to see 
And You proved Your love for me 

I'm no special person 
I've got nothing to offer You 
But You treat me like I'm the only one 
With whom you have to do 
You're closer than a brother 
And You're with me every day 
I love You 'cause You first loved me 
And I'm glad that I can say
