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
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
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
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;
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.
