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
