Melissa Etheridge - I Run For Life Lyrics

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

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 life 

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 

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 

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 

I run for your mother, your sister, your wife 
I run for you and me my friend 
I run for life
