I Run For Life Lyrics - 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 waken 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] 

Photos 

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
