Do They Know It's Christmas Lyrics

It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time,
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time

But say a prayer,
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard,
But when you're having fun

There's a world outside your window,
And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them
Instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time (This Christmas time, no)
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Is life)

Where nothing ever grows (nothing ever grows)
No rain or rivers flow (oh, rivers flow)
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Here's to you
Raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun

Do they know it's Christmas time at all? (Yeah)

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
