Band Aid - Do They Know Its Christmas Time Lyrics

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

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world, do they know it's Christmas time at all?

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 nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

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

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