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, can you still 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

Every man would have a friend, that 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 that blind belief

Can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Every man would have a friend, that right would always win

And love would never end, oh

This is my grown-up Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list
