She always said the world was overrated And she couldnt take the drama it created 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, "whys everybody always leaving? I just want someone to believe in And someone to believe 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
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 They always point you out
But its just like tobymac 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
