Do They Know It’s Christmas 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

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?

Here’s to you
Raise a glass for everyone
Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive

Here’s to them
Underneath that burning sun
You ain’t gotta feel guilt just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

Feed the world Feed the world
Feed the world Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world Feed the world
Feed the world Feed the world
Feed the world Feed the world
(Feed the world) Feed the world
Feed the world
