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

Put your arms around the world at Christmas time



But say a prayer for all of 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 drip of tears

And the only bells you'll hear are clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you



There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

Where the greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows, and 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 their 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

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time



Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time



(Repeat)
