TOM'S PICTURE

From the corner of the room I watch
As you work upon another's face
I begin to womder when my turn will be
For my patience is not limitless
And my temper is not sweet
And I think it time you did attend to me:

Make me come alive
Make me come alive;
I want to be more than paint on canvas.

If I were upon your easel now
I would hold your gaze and not let go
You gifted me with this compelling stare
And when I command you look at me
And have blinded you to other sights
You'll labour on me with devoted care

Make me come alive
You know you can, you know you can, you know you can
Make me come alive
I know you can, I know you can, I know you can

And you know that I am beautiful
And I know your hand has made me so
As you know I crave a life beyond this frame;
And when I have all I need of you
You will take my place and willingly
And I shall seal you fast by spell and name;

Make me come alive
You know you can, you know you can, you know you can
Make me come alive
I know you can, I know you can, I know you can
Make me come alive
I know you can, I know you can, I know you can
I know you can, I know you can, I know you can
I know you can
