MONICA Grown-Up Christmas List lyrics

Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm a grown up now, can you still 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 our hearts, every man would have a friend
That right will 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 the tree
But heaven surely knows that packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul


There'd be no more lives torn apart that wars would never start
And time would heal our hearts, every man would have a friend
That right will always win and love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

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

There'd be no more lives torn apart that wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts, every man would have a friend
That right will always win and love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish, this is my G R O W N U P Christmas list
