Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown-up now

Can you still help somehow?

I'm not a child, but my start 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

Every man would have a friend

That right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list



What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?

Maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth



No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal our hearts

Every man would have a friend

That right would always win

And love would never end



This is my grown-up Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list
