[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
As children we believed
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
This is my only life I wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list

Pentatonix

Pentatonix is an a cappella group who gained notoriety after winning Season 3 of NBC’s The Sing Off, a competition for a cappella bands. The group consists of members Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee, who replaced original member Avi Kaplan. Kaplan announced his departure from the group in May 2017.

PTX has made history as the first a cappella act to win the Grammy for Best Arrangement, Instrumental, or A Cappella — they won the award in both 2015 and 2016. They also won Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2017 for their collaboration with Dolly Parton.

The group released their self-titled debut studio album in 2015, consisting of mostly original songs. The album was certified gold in February 2016 and debuted on top of the Billboard 200, spending thirty weeks on the chart.
