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 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 [Chorus] No more lives torn apart (Torn apart, yeah, yeah) That wars would never start (Start, oh yeah, yeah) And time would heal all hearts (All hearts, oh woah, woah) And everyone would have a friend (Have a friend, yeah, yeah) And right would always win And love would never end (No) This is my grown-up Christmas list [Post-Chorus] Oh [Verse 2] As children, we believed The grandest sight to see Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree But Heaven only knows (Only knows, oh) That packages and bows (Oh) Can never heal a hurting human soul (Oh) [Chorus] Oh, no more lives torn apart (Torn apart, yeah, yeah) That wars would never start (Would never start, oh yeah) And time would heal all hearts And everyone would have a friend (Have a friend, yeah, yeah) And right would always win And love would never end (No) 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] No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Oh, and everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end (No) This is my grown-up Christmas list This is my only life I wish This is my grown-up Christmas list [Outro] Oh
