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
 I still need help somehow
 Not for myself but for a world, 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
 And right would always win
 Love would never, ever, ever end
 This is my grown-up Christmas list (My Christmas list)
 As children we believe
 The grandest sight we'd see
 Was something pretty
 Wrapped beneath the tree
 And heaven only knows
 Packages and bows
 Could never, ever, ever heal a human soul
 No more lives torn apart
 And wars would never start
 And time would heal, heal all broken hearts
 Every, everyone would have a friend
 And 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
 And maybe in our blind belief we can only find the truth
 No more lives torn apart
 And wars would never start
 And time would heal all hearts
 Every, everyone would have a friend
 And love would never end
 And right would always win
 This is my grown-up Christmas list
 Yeah, this is my lifelong wish (this is my grown-up Christmas list)
 This is my grown-up Christmas list (This is my grown-up Christmas list)
 Wish I may, ah, my, my, my, my, my, grown-up Christmas list
 I wish I ...
