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 can still 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 war's 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 our tree Well, heaven surely knows Packages and bows Could never heal a hurting human soul What is this illusion called the innocence of youth Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
