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 the 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

This is my grown-up Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list
