AMY GRANT - 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

And still need 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 will never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone will 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

Well, heaven surely knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart

That wars will never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone will 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

No more lives torn apart

That wars will never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone will have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list

This is my only life long wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list
