Song Title: I Run For Life
Artist: Melissa Etheridge


Intro:    


Verse 1:

()                                 
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


Verse 2:

()                            
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


Repeat Chorus


Instrumental:          



                            
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
 

Repeat Chorus x2
