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 [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
