I Run For Life 

lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

• It's been years since they told her about it
• The darkness her body possessed
• And the scars are still there in the mirror

• Everyday that she gets herself dressed
• Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
• And the fear is now a docile beast
• If you ask her why she is still running
• She'll tell you it makes her complete
• [Chorus:]
• I run for hope
• I run to feel
• I run for the truth
• For all that is real
• I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
• I run for you and me, my friend
• I run for life
• It's a blur since they told me about it
• How the darkness had taken its toll
• And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
• But they will never get a piece of my soul
• And now I'm still learning the lesson
• To awake when I hear the call
• And if you ask me why I am still running
• I'll tell you I run for us all
• [Chorus:]
• I run for hope
• I run to feel
• I run for the truth
• For all that is real
• I run for your mother your sister your wife
• I run for you and me my friend
• I run for life
• And someday if they tell you about it
• If the darkness knocks on your door
• Remember her remember me
• We will be running as we have before
• Running for answers
• Running for more
• I run for hope
• I run to feel
• I run for the truth
• For all that is real
• I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
• I run for you and me my friend
• I run for hope
• I run to feel
• I run for the truth
• For all that is real
• I run for your mother your sister, your daughter, your wife
• For you and me my friend
• I run for life
• Ohohohoooh
• I run for your mother your sister your wife
• I run for you and me my friend
• I run for life
