My Grownup 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 
 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












  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













 
 
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

  














 and 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,












 oh, this is my grown-up Christmas list













 
This is my only lifelong  wish














 this is my grown-up Christmas list
