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 soul

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

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!
