Ever wished for something more meaningful than just gifts under the tree? This heartfelt tune captures that sentiment perfectly. It’s about someone reflecting on their childhood Christmas wishes and realizing that, as an adult, their desires have evolved into hopes for a better world. The lyrics express a longing for peace, friendship, justice, and everlasting love—things that go beyond material possessions. It's a reminder that the true spirit of the season lies in compassion and unity, rather than in toys or trinkets. The song beautifully conveys the idea that even grown-ups can dream big and wish for a kinder world.
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
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 all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
