I Run For Life

(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

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

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 to feel;

I run for the truth

I run for the truth

For all that is real

For all that is real

I run for your mother your sister your wife

I run for your mother your sister your wife

I run for you and me my friend

I run for you and me my friend

I run for hope

I run for life
