Grown-Up Christmas List (Feat. Kelly Clarkson)

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 believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath the tree

But Heaven only knows (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

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

This is my only life I wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list
