[Verse 1]
One day, I'll find relief
I'll be arrived
And I'll be friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day, I'll be at peace
I'll be enlightened, and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day, I will be healed
I will gather my wounds, forge the end of tragic comedy

[Chorus]
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

[Verse 2]
One day, my mind will retreat
And I'll know God
And I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day, I'll be secure
Like the women I see on their thirtieth anniversaries

[Chorus]
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

[Bridge]
Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous
And torturous
And never done

[Verse 3]
One day, I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day, I will be faith-filled
I'll be trusting and spacious, authentic and grounded and home

[Chorus]
I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
