Make me a real live boy.
I want to be everything real a boy should be
Oh Jesus, make me a real live boy.
I want to feel everything real a boy should feel.

I don’t want to be a part of some machine.
And I’ve gotta break away from this routine.
You can turn me into something that’s alive.

Make me begin to cry. I wanna cry every time a real boy should cry Oh Jesus, make me begin to cry. I wanna fall just like the rain, pouring from the sky.

I don't wanna tell myself what I will feel. You know you've got to help me show what I conceal. You can turn me into something that’s alive.

Make me begin to see
That I can be just as whole as a boy can be
Oh Jesus, make me begin to see
That I can be whole right now
And only you know how

To turn me into what you planned for me to be.
And all the people in a lifeless world will see
That you can turn them into something that’s alive.
