[00:01.51]I Run For Life
[00:03.71](Melissa Etheridge)
[00:04.35]It's been years since they told her about it
[00:09.82]The darkness her body possessed
[00:14.85]And the scars are still there in the mirror
[00:19.89]Everyday that she gets herself dressed
[00:24.91]Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
[00:30.06]And the fear is now a docile beast
[00:34.77]If you ask her why she is still running
[00:40.57]She'll tell you it makes her complete
[00:44.51]I run for hope
[00:47.01]I run to feel
[00:49.21]I run for the truth
[00:51.83]For all that is real
[00:54.35]I run for your mother your sister your wife
[00:59.82]I run for you and me my friend
[01:03.75]I run for life
[01:11.19]It's a blur since they told me about it
[01:15.02]How the darkness had taken its toll
[01:21.15]And they cut into my skin
[01:23.45]and they cut into my body
[01:26.08]But they will never get a piece of my soul
[01:31.44]And now I'm still learning the lesson
[01:36.58]To awake when I hear the call
[01:41.50]And if you ask me why I am still running
[01:46.75]I'll tell you I run for us all
[01:50.57]I run for hope
[01:52.77]I run to feel;
[01:55.61]I run for the truth
[01:58.10]For all that is real
[02:00.72]I run for your mother your sister your wife
[02:06.19]I run for you and me my friend
[02:10.59]I run for life
[02:11.33]And someday if they tell you about it
[02:42.87]If the darkness knocks on your door
[02:48.89]Remember her remember me
[02:53.37]We will be running as we have before
[02:58.51]Running for answers
[03:01.14]Running for more
[03:04.94]I run for hope
[03:07.45]I run to feel;
[03:07.45]I run to feel;
[03:09.75]I run for the truth
[03:09.75]I run for the truth
[03:12.16]For all that is real
[03:12.16]For all that is real
[03:16.32]I run for your mother your sister your wife
[03:16.32]I run for your mother your sister your wife
[03:22.99]I run for you and me my friend
[03:22.99]I run for you and me my friend
[03:24.55]I run for hope
[03:25.29]I run for life
