Trijntje Oosterhuis Grown-up Christmas List
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 start 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
