Grown-Up Christmas List

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasiesWell, I'm all grown-up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dreamSo here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in needNo more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all heartsAnd everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas listWhat is this illusion called
The innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth?As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath the treeWell, heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soulNo more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all heartsAnd everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas listNo more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all heartsAnd everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas listThis is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
