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 ohOh 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!

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!
