Not for myself but for a world in need
And everyone would have a friend

What is this illusion called?
The grandest sight to see
And love would never end, no
That packages and bows
Can never heal a heartached human soul
No more lives torn apart
Maybe only in our blind belief
But Heaven only knows
This is my grown-up Christmas list
And love would never end, no
As children we believe
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
No more lives torn apart

And right would always win
That wars would never start
This is my grown-up Christmas list

Wrapped beneath the tree
And everyone would have a friend
And time would heal all hearts
This is my only life long wish

Well, I'm all grown up now

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
And time would heal all hearts
And still need help somehow
And right would always win
No more lives torn apart

And right would always win

And time would heal all hearts
That wars would never start
That wars would never start
So here's my lifelong wish
And love would never end

Can we ever find the truth
Was something lovely
Everyone would have a friend
The innocence of youth
This is my grown-up Christmas list
My grown-up Christmas list
This is my grown up-Christmas list
