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

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

I run for your mother, your sister, your wife

I run for you and me my friend, I run for life

[Verse]
G# A#m
And someday if they tell you about it
C# G#
If the darkness knocks on your door
A#m
Remember her, remember me
C#
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
D# \
Running for more
[Chorus]

I run for hope
