My Grown Up Christmas List

Grown up Christmas list

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

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

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 surly knows that packages and bows

Can never heal hurting human soul

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?

Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
