Grown-Up Christmas List
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOic7t1kZog
Grown-Up Christmas List by David Foster & Natalie Cole

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee.
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm all grown up now,
But still need help somehow.
I'm not a chile 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 would never start,
and time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one would have a friend,
that right would always win,
and love would never end:
This is my grown-up Christmas list.

As children we believed
the grandest sight to see
was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree.
Well, heaven surely knows
that packages and bows
can never heal a hurting human soul.

No more lives torn apart,
and wars would never start,
and time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one 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 our blind belief can we ever find the truth!

There'd be...
No more lives torn apart,
and wars would never start,
and time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one 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!

3. Thanks. I'm sending this version of it out--a plea for helping the homeless and
ending poverty. This particular YouTube vid ties it into helping the homeless and fighting poverty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7zRtLptyc4&feature=related

Am looking for links to add for donations or further info. This facebook page might be one with some worthy links: http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=homeless&init=quick#/group.php?gid=13515513923&ref=search&sid=1469809276.211351313..1
