My 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,
But 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.
Ev'ry one 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.
But heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul.

No more lives torn apart,
But wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
Every one 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 our blind belief can we ever find the truth!

No more lives torn apart,
And wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
Every one would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end
This is my grown-up
This is my only lifelong wish,
This is my Grown-up Christmas list!
