Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasiesWell, I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dreamSo here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for our world in needNo more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all heartsEvery man would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas listWhat is this illusion called?
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truthThere'd be no more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all heartsEvery man would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never endThis is my grown-up Christmas wish
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
