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]


What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth

Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth


[Chorus]
