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.
