Do They Know It's Christmas? sing and play along

It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid.

At Christmastime, 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 Christmastime.

But say a prayer,

to pray for the other ones

at Christmastime.

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 there

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 Christmastime.

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life.

Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow,

do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone;

here's to them underneath that burning sun.

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world,

let them know it's Christmastime a (gain.)

the world, let them know it's Christmastime again.
