Grown-Up Christmas List ~ 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,
But 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 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 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 in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
~
No more lives torn apart,
That wars should 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.
This is my only lifelong wish,
This is my grown up Christmas list.
