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 can still 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 war's 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 our tree

Well, heaven surely knows
Packages and bows
Could never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That war's 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 war's 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 life lonely
This is my grown up christmas list
