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 Chile 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

And wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Ev'ry one would have a friend

That 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

Well, heaven surely knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soulNo more lives torn apart

And wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Ev'ry 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!

There'd be

No more lives torn apart

And wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Ev'ry one 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!
