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 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
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 our 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 my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
