Do They Know It's Christmas

It's Christmastime,
There's no need to 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
Oh, 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
They are clanging chimes of doom

Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa
This Christmastime
(This Christmastime, no)
The greatest gift they'll give this year is life
(Is life)
Where nothing ever grows
(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?
Yeah!

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime
