Verse 1

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Verse 2

Well I'm a grown-up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

Pre Chorus

So here's my life-long wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

Chorus 1

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts

Chorus 2

Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

Post Chorus

This is
My grown-up Christmas list

Verse 3

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Right beneath our tree

Verse 4

But Heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurt and human soul

Chorus 1

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts

Chorus 2

Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

Post Chorus

This is
My grown-up Christmas list

Bridge

What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth

Chorus 1

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts

Chorus 2

Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end

Post Chorus

'Cause this is
My grown-up Christmas list
This is my only life-long wish
This our grow-up Christmas list
