Analysis of Make Me Real



Make me real
I'm not a marble statue
Come and feel, I'm warm flesh and blood

Make me real
I'm not a toy to play with
Come and knell, I'm deep love and trust

Make me real
I'm not a painted portrait
Come and deal, I'm pure skin and bone

Make me real
I'm not a plastic model
Come and seal, I'm keen brain and goal

Make me real
I'm not a ghostly phantom
Come and heal, I'm dear life and breath
