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 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
(Oooh) 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 everyone
(Here s to them)
underneath that burning sun
Do they know it s Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it s Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it s Christmastime again...
