Grown-Up Christmas List

[Verse 1]
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And 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

[Chorus]
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list

[Verse 2]
As children, we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree
Well, heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul

[Chorus]
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list

[Bridge]
What is this illusion called?
The innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth

[Chorus]
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh

[Outro]
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
