Do They Know It's Christmas?

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 dreaded fear

Where the only water flowing

Is a bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there

Are the clanging chimes of doom

We'll, 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

Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you

Raise your glass for everyone

Here's to them

Underneath that burning sun

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world

Feed the world

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas time and

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas time and

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmas time and
