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


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
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, oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list

This is my only life-long wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
