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
