A Friend In The World

Intro: She always said the world was overrated And she couldn't take the drama it created It's a wonder that she didn't wind up jaded From all the times she's been let down Well, 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 around She said, "why's everybody always leaving? I just want someone to believe in And someone who believes in me" 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 now 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 out But it's just like tobyMac used to say, "Some people gotta learn the hardway" And when I couldn't outrun all the things I'd done I picked up the phone and my dad said, "son …" 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 now This 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 wife And 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 around
