I Run For Life

It's been years since they told her about itThe darkness her body possessedAnd the scars are still there in the mirrorEveryday that she gets herself dressedThough the pain is miles and miles behind herAnd the fear is now a docile beastIf you ask her why she is still runningShe'll tell you it makes her complete

I run for hopeI run to feelI run for the truthFor all that is realI run for your mother, your sister, your wifeI run for you and me, my friendI run for life

It's a blur since they told me about itHow the darkness had taken its tollAnd they cut into my skin and they cut into my bodyBut they will never get a piece of my soulAnd now I'm still learning the lessonTo awake when I hear the callAnd if you ask me why I am still runningI'll tell you I run for us all

I run for hopeI run to feelI run for the truthFor all that is realI run for your mother your sister your wifeI run for you and me my friendI run for life

And someday if they tell you about itIf the darkness knocks on your doorRemember her remember meWe will be running as we have beforeRunning for answersRunning for more

I run for hopeI run to feelI run for the truthFor all that is realI run for your mother, your sister, your wifeI run for you and me my friend

I run for hopeI run to feelI run for the truthFor all that is realI run for your mother your sister, your daughter, your wifeFor you and me my friendI run for lifeOhohohoh

I run for your mother your sister your wifeI run for you and me my friendI run for life
