Grown-Up Christmas List

Do you remember me, I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
I'm all grown up now and still need help somehow
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish, my grown up Christmas list
Not for myself but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

No, this is my grown up Christmas list
As children we believe
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath a tree

But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win

And love would never end
No, this is my grown up Christmas list
What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth

Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

No, this is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my grown up Christmas list
