Truly, having grown up and passed the stages of childhood and adolescence, in my heart, I know that material goods could never satisfy me and really aren't needed anymore. I have discovered for myself all the things that really matter: God, family, friends, love. And so, I look around me, at this childish world, and these are the things I REALLY wish for this Christmas. Hopefully some will come true...


GROWN-UP CHRISTMAS LIST

"Do You Remember Me?
I sat upon your knee.
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm a 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.
And wars will never start.
And time will heal our hearts.
Every man will have a friend.
And right would always win.
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up Christmas list.

May kindness rule our lives.
Not just the strong survive.
Sweet tears for all the thousand years gone by.
This is the world, I pray, we will all share some day.
Help me begin by reaching out my hand.

(refrain)...

This is my grown-up Christmas list. (This is the prayer I hope you hear.)
This is my grown-up Christmas list.
Christmas list."
