[Verse 1]
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

[Verse 3]
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 4]
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

[Verse 5]
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

[Break]
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

In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
