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
