My Grown-Up Christmas List

[Verse 1]
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
But 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

[Chorus]
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
Oh, this is my grown-up Christmas list

[Bridge]
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

[Chorus]
There'd be 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, this is my grown-up Christmas list

[Outro]
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
Ooh-ooh
