Intro

Verse 1

 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

Verse 2

 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 awake when I hear the call

 And if you ask me why I am still running

 I'll tell you I run for us all

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental

 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

Repeat Chorus x2
