I heard a song on the radio this morning that I remember from a few years ago.  Something about it struck a nerve today and had me thinking about some people I know that are struggling with one thing or another right now.  I wanted to post this for them (whether they see if or not). 

Some of these people are bloggers you already know and some are just friends in real life who will probably never even see this blog.  Anyway, they are going through rougher than normal times and I would do anything to make it better for them. 

Maybe it is the cold medicine that has me in such a warm fuzzy frame of mind.  Maybe it is that I am getting old and soft.  Maybe I just like the damn song, so deal with.  (Can’t have you thinking I am totally unsnarkified today, now can I?)

Anyway, I don’t have the MP3 or I would post it here as well, but I did post the lyrics in the extended entry.  I do wish better times ahead for you all!

“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 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 will never start

And time will heal our hearts

Every man will have a friend

That right will always win

And love will never end

This is my grown up Christmas List

May kindness rules our lives

Not just the strong survive

Sweet tears for all the thousand years on mind

This is the world I pray

We will all share some way

Help me begin by reaching out my hand

No more lives torn apart

That wars will never start

And time will heal our hearts

Every man will have a friend

That right will always win

And love will never end

This is my grown up Christmas List

Why does this illusion call the innocence of you?

Maybe when the time believe we can find the truth

No…

No more lives torn apart

That wars will never start

And time will heal our hearts

Every man will have a friend

That right will always win

And love will never end

This is my grown up Christmas List

This is the prayer that I will keep

This is my grown up Christmas list

Christmas list
