Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown-up now
Can you still 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
Every man would have a friend

That 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 that blind belief can we ever find the truth


No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start

And time would heal our hearts
Every man would have a friend
That 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
