Lyrics

If you're looking for a way to spend the day
That's not the same old yesterday
And you hope that maybe this could be the day
You guessed when happiness is what you wish
  
There's something in the sunrise
And you sure would like to touch it with you hands
But you can't no you can't
You know it takes a special kind of man
 
He's a special kind of man
With a special kind of love to give away
He's a special kind of friend
To any man who's willing to admit today
 
That He cannot stand alone
He cannot be an island made of sand
And if He will there's a door
Held open by a special kind of man
 
He was poor as man could be
But His heart could see
That was the thing that made him free
 
He was rugged He was bold
And the words He told were precious
More than bags of gold
 
He could reason with a child
He could calm the raging water with His hand
And this whole world admits today
That He sure was a special kind of man
 
And if He will there's a door
Held open by a special kind of man
