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
 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
 That wveryone would have a friend
 And right would always win
 And love would never end
 This is my grown up Christmas list
 As children we believe
 The grandest sight to see
 Was something lovely
 Wrapped beneath the tree
 But heaven only knows
 That packages and bows
 Can never heal a hurting human soul
 No more lives torn apart
 That wars would never start
 And time would heal all hearts,
 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
 Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
 No more lives torn apart
 That wars would never start
 And time would heal all hearts,
 Everyone would have a friend
 And 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
