Grown-Up Christmas List

Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you

With childhood fantasies

Well, 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

This is my grown-up

Christmas list

As children we believed

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely

Wrapped beneath the tree

Well, heaven surely 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

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

This is my grown-up

Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown-up

Christmas list
