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

And wars will never start

And time will heal our hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And life will always win

And love will never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believe

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart

And wars will never start

And time will heal our hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And life will always win

And love will never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion called?

The innocents of youth

Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart

And wars will never start

And time will heal our hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And life will always win

And love will never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown up Christmas list
