(Paul Young)
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
(Boy George)
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
(George Michael)
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
(George Michael/Simon Le Bon)
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
(Simon Le Bon/Sting)
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
(Tony Hadley/Sting)
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
(Sting/Bono)
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
chimes of doom
(Bono)
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
(Boy George/Paul Weller/Sting)
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
(Bono/George Michael/Boy George)
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh)
(Paul Young)
Where nothing ever grows
(Paul Weller)
No rain nor rivers flow
(All)
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
(Marilyn/Glenn Gregory/Rick Parfitt/Francis Rossi)
(Here's to you)
(Paul Young)
raise a glass for everyone
(Marilyn/Glenn Gregory/Rick Parfitt/Francis Rossi)
(Here's to them)
(Paul Young)
underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
(All)
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
repeat then fade
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
(Boy George)
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
(George Michael)
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
