Well, I,m all grown-up now, So here,s my lifelong wish, No more lives torn apart, As children we believed Well heaven surely knows No more lives torn apart, What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?

\nI sat upon your knee;
\nI wrote to you
\nWith childhood fantasies.<\/p>\n
\nAnd still need help somehow
\nI,m not a child,
\nBut my heart still can dream.<\/p>\n
\nMy grown-up Christmas list.
\nNot for myself,
\nBut for a world in need.<\/p>\n
\nThat wars would never start
\nAnd time would heal all hearts.
\nAnd everyone would have a friend,
\nAnd right would always win,
\nAnd love would never end.
\nThis is my grown-up Christmas list.<\/p>\n
\nThe grandest sight to see
\nWas something lovely
\nWrapped beneath our tree<\/p>\n
\nThat packages and bows
\nCan never heal
\nA hurting human soul.<\/p>\n
\nThat wars would never start,
\nAnd time would heal all hearts.
\nAnd everyone would have a friend,
\nAnd right would always win,
\nAnd love would never end.
\nThis is my grown-up Christmas list.<\/p>\n
\nMaybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
\n(there’d be)<\/p>\n
\nThat wars would never start,
\nAnd time would heal all hearts.
\nAnd everyone would have a friend,
\nAnd right would always win,
\nAnd love would never end, oh.
\nThis is my grown-up Christmas list.<\/p>\n
