Connected Christmas Song

Today I worked on the float for this year's Parade of Lights, which occurs tonight! Our float isn't the most impressive, eye dazing thing in the world, but it will surely do. It is going to be a fun night!

So on my way to float building I listened to a Christmas song on the radio. I have heard this song before, but only til today did I really find a deep connection with the song. I am going to post the lyrics this evening and I will highlight the parts that really are attached to my heart. Enjoy: My 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
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

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, ooh
This is my grown up christmas list

As children we believe
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath the tree
But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a heartached human soul

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, no
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

No more lives torn apart (No more torn apart)
That wars would never start (never start)
And time would heal all hearts (ohh..hearts)
Everyone would have a friend (one would have a friend)
And right would always win (would always win)
And love would never end (never...never end, no)
This is my grown up christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown up christmas list...
