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, but still need help somehow, i'm not a child, but my heart still can dream, so here's my life long 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 the heart, everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end, oh, this is my grown-up christmas list, as children we believed, the grandest sight to see, was something lovely, wrapped beneath our tree, but heaven surely knows, that packages and bows, can never heal, the hurting human soul, no more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal the heart, everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end, oh, this is my grown-up christmas list, what is this illusion called, the innocence of youth, maybe only in our blind belief, can we ever find the truth, no more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal the heart, everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end, no more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal the heart, everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end, oh, this is my grown-up christmas list, this is my only lifelong wish, this is my grown-up christmas list
