I RUN FOR LIFE
Song Sung by Melissa
Ethridge
PowerPoint By Kristen Watson
It’s been years since they have 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…
Next Mile is coming up! Keep going!
COMPLETE!
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
It’s a blur since they told me about it
How the darkness had taken it’s 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'm still
running…
I’ll tell you I
run for us
all!
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!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
And some day
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
I run for hope!
I run to feel
I run for the truth, for all that
is real
I run for you mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
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
daughter your wife,
for you and me my friend
I run for life!
Oh oh oh oh oh
I run for your mother,
your sister your wife,
I run for you and me
my friends.
I RUN FOR LIFE
How far will you run?
Isolation

The isolation of the song is about how this lady
almost feels alone because she has just figured out
she has breast cancer. It devastates her, you almost
get the sense that she is feeling alone at the
beginning. Throughout the song it becomes almost as
if all these women have been together on this
journey.
Contact


The contact in this song, is the contact with women
getting breast cancer.
Another contact could also be how the doctor tells
these women they do have breast cancer.
Contact leading to change


The contact is now leading to a negative change,
because of the cancer these women have to change
there life styles, go through surgery. Not only do
they have to do deal with the change, so do their
families.
On the other hand this song can also represent a
positive change. Even though the cancer made them
run and change their life, this cancer is now more
easily treated. Because of this, people can have
better futures!
What this song means to me!

This song means a lot to me because, every year I
run for the terry fox run. I know it is not the same as
the breast cancer run. Though they do put a portion
of money to breast cancer. This song makes me feel
grateful and that we may look different, but if we
put our minds to great things we can accomplish
more than we can imagine!
I Hope you enjoyed my presentation! 
