A Friend In The World

She always said the world was overrated
And she couldnt take the drama it created
And its a wonder that she didnt wind up jaded
From all the times shes 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 is everybody always leaving?
I just want someone to believe in
And someone who believes in me

When you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, Love is reaching down
When you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, you got one now

Well, I grew up in the glass house of a preacher
Where every move I ever made was a feature
And when you dont always do what they teach you
You see they always point you out

Yeah, but its just like Toby Mac used to say
Some people gotta learn the hard way
And when I couldnt outrun all the things Id done
I picked up the phone and my dad said

Son, when you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, Love is reaching down
When you cant 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 thats so amazing
You see, the girl I sang about in the first verse
Became my wife

And theres one last thing Id like to mention
We owe it all to the Author of redemption
Because He reached her life and He reached my life
And Hes reaching out now take a look around

When you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, Love is reaching down
When you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, you got one now

When you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, Love is reaching down
When you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, you got one now

A friend in the world
A friend in the world, Love is reaching down
When you cant find a friend in the world
A friend in the world, you got one now
