Monica - My Grown Up Christmas List lyrics

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 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 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

May kindness rule our lives

Not just the strong survive

Sweet tears for all the thousand years gone by

This is the world I pray

We will all share someday

Help me begin by reaching out my hand

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 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

(This is the prayer I hope you'll hear)

This is my grown up Christams list

Oh

Christmas list
