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 waken 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][03:04.94][03:24.55] |
I run for hope |
| [01:52.77][03:07.45][03:07.45] |
I run to feel; |
| [01:55.61][03:09.75][03:09.75] |
I run for the truth |
| [01:58.10][03:12.16][03:12.16] |
For all that is real |
| [02:00.72][03:16.32][03:16.32] |
I run for your mother your sister your wife |
| [02:06.19][03:22.99][03:22.99] |
I run for you and me my friend |
| [02:10.59][03:25.29] |
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 |
