"Amplify" ...

... by Roper:

Adrenaline is flowing
your nervous fingers lightly drumming
cords click into silver jacks
you flick the switch the tubes are humming
The lights go down the sweat is beading
muscles tense, your heart is speeding
It's so loud, it feels like heaven
crank these amps up to eleven

All our lives
we've kept the meaning hidden deep inside
All our lives
were somehow made for this, to amplify
We dream, we cry to amplify
We live, we die to amplify

Feedback speaks of caliber
the wires wrapping 'round
We fall beneath these walls of unimpended sound
And here at last,
the final notes this song has sung its course
Everything that we have saved
we'll scream until we're hoarse

----
These lyrics describe exactly what playing rock music should be like and sometimes is: fun for the glory of God. It is possible.
