My Grown Up Christmas List

My Grown Up Christmas List by Amy Grant

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

Well, I'm all grown-up now,
And still need help somehow (can you still help somehow)
I'm not a child,
But my heart 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 wars would never start)
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would 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 our tree (wrapped beneath the tree)

Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul.

No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And 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 our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
(there'd be)

No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And 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 grown-up Christmas list.

Merry Christmas everyone =). I know it's a day late, but that's okay =). I hope that you're enjoying the celebratory season with happiness, laughter and loved ones. I hope that no one is lonely during this time and that miracles will occur =). I know it happens every year, like birthdays, but every year Christmas will always be a special time for family and friends. Whether it's snowing or not, I hope every one is smiling during this time of the year =).
