Testo Grown-Up 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
And 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 the tree
But heaven only 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
And everyone would have a friend and right would always win
And love would never end, oh, no
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, oh

No more lives torn apart, that 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
This is my grown-up Christmas list, oh

This is my grown-up Christmas list, oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
