Do They Know It's Christmas? (Feed The World)

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

to 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 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 Christmas time.

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 Christmas time 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 Christmas time at all?

Feed the world,

let them know it's Christmas time a gain.

the world, let them know it's Christmas time aChristmas time again.
