Pentatonix - Grown-Up Christmas List Lyrics

Verse 1
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And 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

Chorus
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

Verse 2
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath the tree
But Heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

Chorus
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

Bridge
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

Chorus
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

Outro
This is my only life I wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
