Grown-Up Christmas List

Grown-Up Christmas List is a song featured in Glee, Actually. It is performed by Jack Harmon with Diane Harmon and the kids of the Lima General Pediatrics Ward. It was originally performed by Amy Grant.

Context
Jack performs the song for the kids in the pediatrics ward in Lima General, as he normally does every Christmas, after Diane manages to arrange a Skype session with the kids.

Lyrics
Jack: ''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…''

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 hurting 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…''

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.''

Jack, Diane and the Kids: '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…'

This is my grown up Christmas list…

Jack: This is my only lifelong wish…

Jack, Diane and the Kids: This is my grown up Christmas list!
