A Friend In The World

She always said the world was overrated

And she couldn't take the drama it created

And it's a wonder that she didn't wind up jaded

From all the times she's been let downWell, mom and dad split up when she was four years old

And left the world as she knew it spinning out of control

And she grew up feeling a hole in her soul

'Cause they were never aroundShe said, why is everybody always leaving'

I just want someone to believe in

And someone who believes in meWhen you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, Love is reaching down

When you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, you got one nowWell, I grew up in the glass house of a preacher

Where every move I ever made was a feature

And when you don't always do what they teach you

You see they always point you outYeah, but it's just like Toby Mac used to say

Some people gotta learn the hard way

And when I couldn't outrun all the things I'd done

I picked up the phone and my dad saidSon, when you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, Love is reaching down

When you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, you got one nowThis is where the story gets crazy

And this is the part that's so amazing

You see, the girl I sang about in the first verse

Became my wifeAnd there's one last thing I'd like to mention

We owe it all to the Author of redemption

Because He reached her life and He reached my life

And he's reaching out now take a look aroundWhen you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, Love is reaching down

When you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, you got one nowWhen you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, Love is reaching down

When you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, you got one nowA friend in the world

A friend in the world, Love is reaching down

When you can't find a friend in the world

A friend in the world, you got one now
