Verse 1:
She always said the world was over rated,
And she couldn't take the drama it created.
And it's a wonder she didn't wind up jaded,
For all the times she'd been let down.
Well mom and dad split up when she was four years old,
And let the world that she knew start spinning out of control.
She grew up feeling a hole in her soul.
'cause the was never around. She said;
Pre-chorus:
Why's everybody always leavin'?
I just want someone to believe in,
And secret who believes in me.
Chorus:
When you can't find a friend in the world,
A friend in the world, love is reaching out.
When you can't find a friend in the world,
A friend in the world, you got one now.
Na na na na na na na.
E:8--7--5---7--8--7--5
Na na na na na na na.
E:8--7--5---7--8--7--7
Na na na na na na na.

Verse 2:
Well I grew up in the glass house of a preacher,
Where every move I ever made was a feacher.
And when you don't do what they teach ya,
See they always point you out.
Yeah, boy it's just like Toby Mac used to say;
"Some people gotta learn the hard way",
And when I couldn't out run all the things that I've done,
I picked up the phone and my dad said son.
(Repeat chorus)
Verse 3:
This is where the story gets crazy,
and this is the part that's so amazing.
you see the girl I talked 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, reached my life,
and is reachin' out now take a look around.
THE END
I hpe this helps you out some, God bless
