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, no   This is my grown-up Christmas list      As children we believe   The grandest sight to see   Was something lovely   Wrapped beneath the tree      But Heaven only knows   That packages and bows   Can never heal a heartached 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, 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      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   This is my only life long wish   This is my grown up-Christmas list
