Lyrics

Amplified

I was 10 years old
On my brothers bike
He was flyin' down the street
I was holdin' on for life
I was scared, so scared
But I took that ride
I was 10 years old
Livin' life amplified

I was just 15
When she held my hand
Feeling things inside
I didn't quite understand
I was scared, so scared
But I took that ride
I was 15 then
Livin' life amplified

I was 24
When I had my son
And discovered how
How, to really love someone
I was scared, so scared
But I took that ride
At 24
Livin' life amplified

INSTRUMENTAL

I was 46
When my father died
I was holding his hand
I was there by his side
I was scared, so scared
But we took that ride
At 46
Life & Death amplified

When I look back
What I won't see
Are safe and empty years
That piled up on me
Yeah, I was scared so scared
But I took the rides
And I will leave this earth
Having lived amplified

(One more bar here)
I was 10 years old
On my brother's bike.....
