Do They Know It's Christmas?

It's Christmas time, and 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

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 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 feed the world; let them know it's Christmas time
