It's been years since they told her about it
G# D#
The darkness her body possessed
Fm
And the scars are still there in the mirror
G# A#
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
Cm A#
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
G# A#
And the fear is now a docile beast
G#
If you ask her why she is still running
A# \
She'll tell you it makes her complete
[Chorus]
D#
I run for hope
A#
I run to feel
Cm
I run for the truth
G#
For all that is real
D# A#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
Cm G#~ D#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Verse]

Fm
It's a blur since they told me about it
G# D#
How the darkness had taken its toll
Fm
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
G# A#
But they will never get a piece of my soul
Cm A#
And now I'm still learning the lesson
G# A#
To awake when I hear the call
G#
And if you ask me why I am still running
A#
I'll tell you I run for us all
[Chorus]

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
