"I run for life"

Esta es la letra de la nueva canción de Melissa Etheridge:

I Run For Life

First appears on Greatest Hits Road Less Traveled (2005) Written by Melissa Etheridge "Ford asked me to write a song for their "Race for the Cure" initiative to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer charities. I wanted to write a song that was personal; climb into people's emotions and portray a woman who has had breast cancer but is out of it. The first verse is about a survivor. The second verse is from my own experience and the last verse is for those who have not been diagnosed or don't know anyone with breast cancer yet. We are all running for answers and to make the situation better."
