[Verse 1]
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
[Verse 3]
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
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
[Verse 4]
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
[Verse 5]
But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul
[Chorus]
No more lives torn apart
That 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
[Break]
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
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
