Monica - My Grown Up Christmas List lyrics

Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee I wrote to you with childhood fantasies Well, I'm a grown up now, can you still help somehow? I'm not a child but my heart still can dream So here's my life long 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 our hearts, every man would have a friend That right will 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 surely knows that packages and bows Can never heal a hurting human soul There'd be no more lives torn apart that wars would never start And time would heal our hearts, every man would have a friend That right will always win and love would never end This is my grown up Christmas list Why is this illusion called the innocence of youth? Maybe only in our blind belief Can we ever find the truth The truth There'd be no more lives torn apart that wars would never start And time would heal all hearts, every man would have a friend That right will always win and love would never end This is my grown up Christmas list This is my only lifelong wish, this is my G R O W N U P Christmas list
