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
And every one would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
Oh, 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

They'll be no more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And every one would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh, this is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list, mm
