"Listening at high volumes for long periods may be harmful to your hearing. Raise volume above recommended level?"

OK

Fill me with the sentiments of my fellows
And melodies that course with life.
Everything is short; this song will end soon.
Deaden my ears now -
Who can know when the rest will follow?
Sunrises and sunsets are predictable.
Fill me with the wonders of light and shadow
While my eyes still open.
There are so many flavors of inhospitable and lovely
On this Earth alone.
Fill me with the fire, chill, dread, grief,
And every genre and color of love
While my arms still hold,
Hands still grasp,
Fingers still touch,
And heart still beats.
And words are so easy to speak.
Say them with me, now, now, now,
So we don't have to
Forever hold our peace.
In brief,
Fill me, fill me, fill me,
While I am still here to be filled.
