A Friend In The World Lyrics - Matthew West

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, Mum 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 to believe 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

They always point you out 

But it's just like TobyMac 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 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 

Photos 

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 

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
