My Grown-Up Christmas List.

Now Christmas isn't the same for me anymore now I'm no longer a kid and now my own kids are all grown up and have mostly moved out and left home:

Do you remember meI sat upon your kneeI wrote to you with childhood fantasiesWell I'm all grown up nowAnd still need help somehowI'm not a child but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wishMy grown up Christmas listNot for myself but for a world in need
No more lives torn apartThat wars would never startAnd time would heal all heartsAnd everyone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never end, noThis is my grown up Christmas list
As children we believeThe grandest sight to seeWas something lovely wrapped beneath the treeBut Heaven only knowsThat packages and bowsCan never heal a hurting human soul
No more lives torn apartThat wars would never startAnd time would heal all heartsAnd everyone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never end, noThis is my grown up Christmas list
What is this illusion called the innocence of youthMaybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apartThat wars would never startAnd time would heal all heartsAnd everyone would have a friendAnd right would always winAnd love would never end, noThis is my grown up Christmas listThis is my only lifelong wishThis is my grown up Christmas list
