Do They Know It's Christmas
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, 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
A 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, oh
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 nor river flows
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
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas
